Her Royal Highness is about Millie Quint a high school senior from Texas who ends up going to a fancy Scottish boarding school after finding out that her friend with benefits almost girlfriend making out with someone else. Millie ends up being roommates with Scottish Princess Flora who doesn't want to be stuck at a boarding school out in the countryside and certainly doesn't want a roommate and when Millie ends up insulting her that makes Flora even more unhappy about having to room with her. Millie and Flora start off as enemies but the two of them are stuck together whether they like it or not. Millie makes some friends with some other students during this time and Flora spends this time trying to get kicked out of school which is something her mother the queen isn't going to allow.

After a failed camping trip Millie and Flora start to become very good friends with each other after they come to understand each other better. Now that Millie is getting along with Flora she starts to notice how beautiful she is and now that she understands her better she can tell that Flora has a better heart than she lets on all of which leads to Millie developing feelings for Flora which Flora seems to return despite her mother's disapproval.

Overall this was an okay book which I wish I found more interesting since I thought that the book sounded really good when I first saw the plot description for it. I found Millie to be quite boring which I think made me feel like the story was boring since we saw it all through her eyes despite this I did find Flora to be an interesting character and I wonder if the story would've been better from her point of view.

Book Review: Royals

                                                             Royals Review

Royals is about a high school students named Daisy Winters whose older sister, Ellie is engaged to the prince of Scotland, Alex  and because of this there are people who are interested in what kind of person she is. Daisy's boyfriend tried to sell their prom pictures to the press which led to Daisy dumping him and because she dumped him her boyfriend tells some gossip website that she broke up with him because she wanted to date the other prince of Scotland  Sebastian who is about her age. Daisy's boyfriend lying about her somehow leads to such bad press that the head of PR for the royal family decides that Daisy has to come to Scotland for the summer to avoid causing anymore scandals, unsurprisingly actually being in Scotland and actually meeting Sebastian actually causes there be more scandals which they blame completely on Daisy despite them generally not being her fault.

While in Scotland Daisy discovers that life among the royals isn't so picture perfect when she sees what a mess Sebastian is and how stressful living under a microscope is for Ellie. Daisy ends up being put in a fake relationship with Sebastian's most responsible friend Miles. At first Daisy and Miles have a hard time getting along because they both make unfair assumptions about the other but after awhile the two sort out there differences and start to fall for each other for real.

Overall I really enjoyed this book but I did find that the plot relied on a fairly stupid reason to get Daisy to spend the summer in Scotland in that I'm pretty sure that anyone with even a little common sense would see that Daisy staying a way from royal would make people less likely to believe the lies her boyfriend told and if she isn't with the royal family people generally won't be interested in what she's doing which would cause less scandals. I really liked Daisy and I felt like she was often blamed for situations that weren't her fault and scolded for not knowing rules that no one ever told her about which made this book frustrating to read. I really liked the relationship between Daisy and Miles but I really wished that we got to spend more time with them. Please tell me your thoughts on this book in the comment section below.
