Questo libro è bello. Perché è trash al massimo livello. Non lo consigliere a nessun adolescente perché contiene i peggio insegnamenti e messaggi offensivi... troviamo:
- Un protagonista gorilla/maschio alpha che sa solo grugnire e fare lo stronzetto
- Fratelli... inutili?
- Easton = il re del trash e amico cazzaro che tutti sotto sotto vorrebbero avere 
- Donne viste come oggetti sessuali e trattate come bambole gonfiabili da portarsi a letto
- “Sembra talco ma non è, serve a darti l'allegria! Se l'assaggi o la respiri ti dà subito l'allegria!” (Droga... per chi non lo avesse capito o è troppo giovincello per ricordare Pollon)
- Suicidio trattato come... una cosa normale e ultima forma di fuga
- Depressione = normalità
- Stupri accettati e presi come scherzo divertente, come se fosse divertente drogare una ragazza e tentare di violentarla
- Denuncia per una violenza? No grazie!
- Padri assenti e indifferenti che si nascondono dietro il "Mia moglie è morta" lasciando che i figli diventino criminali 
- Soldi = Potere e #FanculoIPoveri
- Spogliarelliste viste come prostitute appestate ed esiliate dalla società
- Violenza e autolesionismo... perchè se un protagonista maschile non picchia la gente e non si ferisce facendosi picchiare non è figo
- Scommesse e gioco d'azzardo
- Bullismo
- Presidi che lasciano gli studenti ricchi a comandare la scuola
- Insegnanti inutili
- Brooke (e non quella di Beautiful T_________T) 
e... disagio, disagio e ancora disagio
Eppure... l'ho amato! Mi è sembrato nonostante i mille messaggi negativi di rivivere una puntata trash di The o.c e l'ho adorato! I protagonisti sono dei meme viventi e le loro interazioni sono così wtf da avermi fatto ridere per la metà del tempo. Vedere un tizio con 1000 figli che neanche sa badare ai suoi figli prendere in casa una nuova bocca da sfamare e dotata di vagina (in una casa di uomini in calore è l'ideale! Soprattutto se hai figli arrapati 24 ore su 24) e tutto perchè il Bff è morto, decidendo a caso di regalarle macchine, soldi, computer, cellulari e tutto con il monito "Studia e fai la brava bimba" è.... ridicolo! Per non parlare della protagonista che si spoglia per vivere spacciandosi nei club per 34enne! Cioè... una sedicenne che si spaccia per 34enne! WHY? In che mondo i servizi sociali non sono intervenuti? Bah
Il mondo dei Royal è un mondo fatato di disagio e trash che spingerà i lettori un po' più grandi a ridere come i pazzi! Il libro è così disagiato e senza senso da essere un so bad is so good, così brutto da essere bellissimo, è scorrevolissimo e scritto come ogni libro su Wattpad e questo lo rende ancora più bello! Che dire? LEGGETELO! Se amate tutto cioè che è brutto, i personaggi senza senso, gli eventi alla Beautiful... è pane per i vostri denti e un buon modo per passare un pomeriggio in caso contrario, girate al largo.
Sconsigliato agli adolescenti impressionabili... rischierebbero di vedere Reed come modello di principe azzurro quindi se avete figli/e adolescenti... bruciate il libro o l'ebook reader e non fategli leggere certe bestemmie! 

A funny book with a princess and a lesson that the boys and the girls in your classroom will love! What begins with what seems to be a very snobby princess ends with a lesson on self esteem and knowing your worth. Also, this princess refuses to give up and instead chooses to use her brain to outsmart the dragon in a great cat and mouse style game. What a great book to remind your students how big and mighty their brains are and how you don’t have to be the biggest one in the room or have the most stuff, but if you have knowledge, it’s powerful. I’d love to use this in my classroom one day as a lesson to teach retelling a story on storyboards. Having the class split up into groups to decorate a poster board with a different part of the story and have them lined up at the end to retell the story in their own words. 

Guided Reading Level: K

Thank you to Hilda for the recommendation!

This is listed as YA and NA, which made me a little nervous along with our characters being in high school. LOL, is all I have to say to that.  Granted, I did not got to an uber rich school but this story and characters did not read like a YA, more NA. I constantly had to keep reminding myself that they weren't even in college yet, I think they read like 26ish or so. 

Very angst-y (she strips to pay her mother's doctor bills at age 15), very sexy times (heavy petting all over the place), and very drama (suicide mother, secret parking lot fighting, surprise inheritance, I want you but can't have you). Basically, this was soap opera cracktastic drama that I inhaled. When it was all over, a cliffhanger!, had me running to get the second in the series but giving some time and distance, I feel a little empty from it but it did entertain while I was in the moment. 

Some soap opera, some Cruel Intentions, and some brewing under the surface mystery. Get yourself a bowl of popcorn and wine and give yourself over to the moment. Just be prepared for a cliffhanger.

TRIGGER FOR DATE RAPE VICTIMS
I hate when this happens. When everyone loves a book that I don't. I hate being minority. I signed up to goodreads to fangirl over books with other people, to like the five star reviews and ignore the haters. 



I love when all my friends read the same book and love it as much as I did.

I hate to rate this book. A lot of my goodreads friends have LOVED IT! And I can see why. For the most part of the book I loved it, too. Then the twist happens and everyone still loves the book, but I don't. I'm left outside. So, yeah it sucks to be minority.




I hate giving bad ratings. I'd rather not finish a book than give a bad rating. However if in other occassions I prefer not to post a review or even a rating because 
a) I don't want to waste more time than the book deserves
or

b)I can't pinpoint what I didn't like,

In this case I think I have to warn other readers who might have the same problem than I have. If you are warned, you might enjoy the book more than I did. In addition, I can tell when the book was ruined FOR ME. If you are warned of what you will find you might even give a 5 star rating, that I think the authors deserve because for the most part their book is not bad.


I think everyone will love this book way more than I do. People should give it a try. The authors have a way with words and for the majority of the book I THOUGHT THIS WAS FANTASTICLY compelling and AWESOME, I never considered not finishing it because the emotions, the characters, the journey were so good that I just couldn't put the book down. I would recommend this book to anyone who isn't a freak like me: A freak who has a high sensibility on hero having sexual activity of any kind with other women.




Why? Oh Why? Can't authors think of another way to create drama? Everything was going so well, then that twist. IIt ruins the sequels for me. I asked a refund from amazon and I'm not continuing with the series. Again that's me. I'm extremely sensitive to disloyal heroes
I wish there had been a warning for that twist. I hate hate hate hate when the authors write sexual content, date rape and disloyal heroes without a warning.

This is also a NA book marketed as YA. I'm okay with sex scenes, actually I get bored if a NA book doesn't have at least a bit of sexual tension and I prefer self-published authors because they cross the YA/NA boundaries more often than traditional published books. I just think the ethical thing to do is to warn the readers that there's sex in the book so people who like sex will buy it, and people who prefer "clean" reads stay away. Readers under 18 should stay clear from this book as it contains sexual content, language, date rape and dubious consent.

This book reminded me of Tijan's fallen crest series, except the twist I mentioned. I think that I wouldn't have hated the ending as much as I did if I haven't been so involved with Ella and Reed. If you don't mind  edgy content and you like Tiijan give this book a try. If you hate dark contet in books labeled as YA then this book might not be for you.

I wish there had been a warning for that twist. I hate hate hate hate when the authors  make their heros look at other woman naked after H and h get together.
