What if... America lost the revolution and had a monarchy? That's the premise of this book series by Katharine McGee.
I started this on February 12 and finished it 2 short days later on February 14th. Talk about a fast read.
This book started to offer insights into how things came to be in the first book in the series. There's a king of America with three children - Beatrice, Samantha, and Jefferson. All with different (and sometimes) intertwining drama they call their own.
I don't want to give too much away, though read any of the reviews of this book and you'll get them anyway. This is a light-hearted, easy read. It's fun to imagine how things would be different if America was... different. A monarchy. What do you think it would be like? Take a look at some of the other royal families around the world, and you'll have a good idea.
Navigating, avoiding, and managing the prying eyes of the press. Dealing with competing and often unscrupulous actions of "friends", family members, and random people. Trying to have a private life in the public eye. Living with family knowing you are either the "heir" or "spare", and the list goes on and on - see "Spare" by Prince Harry. Except this is the fictional version.
If you like "Royal" things, you'll like this series.
