4 stars! Spoiler free!
Fun, easy, "read-in-one-sitting" kind of contemporary. Gave me all the Princess Diaries vibes!
Literal modern day princess and the guard romance
I especially love it when the guard is this super stoic and suited up man, that once you put him in his t-shirt and sweats, is a whole golden retriever.
Good blend of family dynamics and romance
I'm especially a sucker for the kind of relationship where the daughter is very close with the mother
Didn't like that the "girls being mean to girls" trope is used, even when it's between family members, but I appreciate that Izumi didn’t stoop that low
When the plot twist happens, I immediately knew who was behind it, but definitely didn’t see the actual twist coming until I turned the page and BAM -- my heart broke. Thank goodness that Izumi at least got a tiny bit of revenge because it was much deserved. I was literally clapping for her.
AMAZING ending. It was so cute, so disney princess like, and I just ate all that up.
I would like to read more from this author in the future! This was exactly what I wanted from this book. Went in with sort of low expectations, but was surprisingly impressed by the end.
