Companion to: Royals.
An American girl goes to an exclusive Scottish boarding school where she becomes the roommate, best friend, and girlfriend of a royal princess.
When her sort-of-best friend/sort-of-girlfriend has been kissing someone else, Millie Quint decides to apply for scholarships to boarding schools... the farther from Houston the better. She's accepted into an exclusive schools located in the rolling highlands of Scotland. The only problem: her new roommate Flora is a total princess. Like, an actual princess. Of Scotland. At first, the girls can barely stand each other, but soon Millie another sort-of-best-friend/sort-of-girlfriend. The chances of happily ever afters are slim. Real life isn't a fairy tale... or is it? -- adapted from jacket

Five Stars! submitted by feshile on July 18, 2019, 10:18am Usually when I rate a book 5 stars, it is actually 4.5 stars, but this book earns all 5. This book made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me cry and laugh at the same time! I connected with the believable characters, the conflict was real and the romance was super sweet. It works well enough on its own, but it works even better if you read Prince Charming (previously Royals) first. I breezed through this wonderful book in an afternoon and I recommend it for practically everyone.
Easy and fun read submitted by lexinylander on June 23, 2020, 10:26am This was delightfully corny in the best way. Reminded me so much of The Prince and Me, which I was weirdly obsessed with as a preteen. Very similar to Red, White, and Royal Blue wherein it's carefree and a little removed from serious, real word repercussions but still wildly palatable and a joy to read. Quick and jaunty and good all around. Millie was fun and cute and somewhat nuanced and Flora was kind of a snob, which I always kind of like. I did feel like the plot moved real, real slow at first then in the last like three quarters of the book waaaaay too fast but that didn't bother me much due to the fan fic-esque template. Anyway, a joy to read especially in these trying times.
great book submitted by JessicaIJ on June 16, 2023, 10:35pm i wasn’t sure how much i was going to like it but i ended up loving the book, finishing it in two days, and wanting more to the story. it was a very gneiss book!
Young adult LGBTQ Romance submitted by asangtani on July 12, 2023, 8:56am In this second installation of the Royals, Millie Quint (who's recently had her heart broken by her best friend) goes to boarding school in Scotland, where she's roommates with an actual princess. The book is fairly lighthearted with lots of mishaps that results in a cute romance between the two, one epic gesture of love, and an enemies-to-lovers-light vibe. Better than the first book.
