Book Review: The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
Grand Central Publishing April 2015

Pages: 454

Synopsis from Goodreads: American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it’s Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain’s future king. And when Bex can’t resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother, Freddie. But the relationship also comes with unimaginable baggage: hysterical tabloids, Nick’s sparkling and far more suitable ex-girlfriends, and a royal family whose private life is much thornier and more tragic than anyone on the outside knows. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he’s fated to become.

Which is how she gets into trouble.

Now, on the eve of the wedding of the century, Bex is faced with whether everything she’s sacrificed for love-her career, her home, her family, maybe even herself-will have been for nothing.

My Thoughts: I don’t even know where to start with this one. I was captivated from the beginning. I wanted to know everything from the first page. I love reading about the royals (the real ones) so much. Their life is fascinating to me. This book opened my eyes to their side of things. The paparazzi is the devil in the book. I got a glimpse at what it must be like to be famous and all I can say is no thanks. I feel that it is my motherly duty to wan parents that because of drug use and sexual sections of this book, it may not be the best for your teens, but it is of course up to you. Just one mom’s opinion.

This book was so so good. It made me laugh hysterically – like, husband giving me a super awkward stare in bed while he is trying to sleep and his wife is still up reading that book and won’t stop cry laughing, hysterical. It also made me cry. I loved this book so much that I am crossing my fingers and hoping for a sequel! Please, Heather and Jessica, give us a sequel! I don’t know what else to say other than, read it! I gave this book 5 stars…obviously.
