[4.5] SO MUCH SNARKY GOODNESS

I'm admittedly not a fan of reading about politics and royals (too much drama, too much division), but I live for banter and humor. Spoon feed me heaps of it and I'll surely fall in love.

While this story felt longer than it needed to be, with the pacing veering on the slower side, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment too much. Yes, this novel had us looking through rose-colored glasses, but I was actually perfectly okay with that. Especially after this past year, I appreciated the escape more than ever, although I can also understand the flipside of it further highlighting the injustices and setbacks present in our reality.

As a side note, I watched the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview partway through reading this; some aspects of the story hit a bit different after.
