I think I may have heard about this book from the Real Simple magazine reading list, but I don't fully recall. I can tell you that I really liked this book and couldn't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
I started this one on October 4 and finished it on October 12.
Imagine, if you will, if America after the Revolutionary War became a country with a King and Queen - a royalty class? That's the premise of this book. America has a King and this book is about his family - the Washingtons (yes, related to George Washington, America's first King).
It's set in modern time. There is the oldest daughter (Beatrice), the one who will inherit the crown. And there are twin younger siblings, a boy (Jefferson) and a girl (Samantha), who are the spares. This book is about their relationships with each other, their relationships and desires (or not) for the crown, their friends who are less royal, and their lives navigating through protocol, school, family, and friends.
This was certainly a page turner and I loved it!
