A lot of people have said so many negative things and I’ve seen some verbal reviews on YouTube and honestly I feel like they are way off.
I myself kept an open mind when reading this book. I’m from the US and I remember when Princess Diana passed away. The entire world was devastated. That says so much about who she was. And honestly as someone who has experienced a lot of trauma and worked through most of not all of said trauma I’ve learned or rather become able to usually recognize it when I see it. I see it very much in this book.
It’s an incredibly insightful look into what Harry went through. Again, a lot of people have said negative things and I honestly feel it’s unfair. I’m not team Meghan or team Against Meghan. I am Team Diana’s kids however. They’ve both been through way too much.
I do believe if you keep an open mind when reading this, you’ll see a different side to not only Harry but his father and brother William. Both a good and negative side, but mostly a human side. I don’t see this as a smear campaign book AT ALL. It’s just Harry telling his story. His life has been so polarized through the media & honestly manipulated as well. And it’s not just been his that has had that happen.
If I took away anything from this book, it would be just how untrue the tabloids are and how detrimental they have been to his and his entire family’s lives. It’s honestly such a candid story. It has some sad moments, some funny moments, some “what did I just read?” moments, some oh holy crap moments with revelations as well.
I do highly recommend this book and I also recommend that you read it with an open mind without any outside views you’ve acquired about the royal family when you read it. Enjoy.
PS: as a side note: Some people have pointed out fallacies in his dates and other details in reviews. That is VERY common when working through trauma. So keep an open mind with anything like that....more
**spoiler alert** I promised myself I wouldn’t read another book after the first one by this author that I “tried” to read, “Two Wrongs Make A Right” **spoiler alert** I promised myself I wouldn’t read another book after the first one by this author that I “tried” to read, “Two Wrongs Make A Right” a few weeks ago, however I forgot this was on my wishlist on Amazon & my husband bought it for me for Christmas.
That being said:
The first chapter was BRUTAL. I nearly DNF’d because it felt too forced after stating how they had fought and ignored each other for a year. Her noticing him would’ve made more sense after the dream then at the beginning. But since it was a gift I pressed on.
It became quite cute after that. I started noticing the similarities even more to You’ve Got Mail like the back of the book had indicated it would be like. That gave me hope.
I did like the majority of the book. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, but I didn’t like the ending. To be blunt, since I am that way also being neurodivergent & autistic, it went on too long and I skipped the love scene because I do not care for descriptive love making scenes. I skip them if they’re there and sometimes skipping is okay because the rest is good. It’s very difficult finding romance novels that are safe spaces for someone like me. They’re triggering aka activating. I’m someone that usually prefers kissing n such with cute moments then fade to black. It’s not easy to find though, there’s no rating system for books, sadly.
The Epilogue was also too much. A meeting between her father and Jonathan asking for her hand would’ve been better. A cute full circle moment. But years later and no kids? I mean that would’ve been talked about at that point since she loved seeing him with his nephew. So that made my head spin.
So with a disappointing start and ending I gave it 3.5 stars. At least this was better than the other one. I don’t know if I’ll read more or not. But I do hope this author writes more and improves because she has talent and I did really enjoy the middle of the book. And the explanation of why he was so grumpy. That was well thought out. I’m just not sure that even though it talks about being neurodivergent and what that’s like that I will enjoy her style enough. But again, that may be just me....more
I honestly hate Bee. She’s annoying & obnoxious. Can I sympathize with her trauma? Sure. But she’s utterly insufferable to listen to when she Garbage.
I honestly hate Bee. She’s annoying & obnoxious. Can I sympathize with her trauma? Sure. But she’s utterly insufferable to listen to when she whines & acts like she knows everything about everything. This book had potential, I read this right after it’s predecessor which I gave 4 stars but this….. UGH so annoyed.
And don’t get me started on the authors recycled love interest descriptors & lines between the two… just…. Atrociously bad....more
