Queen B’s Decree: Talk about boring. The cover sucked me in along with the blurb. A RomCom about a royal wedding featuring a soon-to-be prince and a waitress. What could be terrible about that??
Narrator: Everything is terrible.
Firstly the characters. Both Khara and Adam are not interesting or nice people. At least Adam owns up to his snobby manwhore ways, but Khara is just a Judgy McJudgerson. The chip on her shoulder is HUGE. Girl, you got an all-expenses paid trip to Europe to be the ONLY bridesmaid in a royal wedding: live it up and have some fun. WHY SO SERIOUS?
Secondly, the lack of chemistry. I never understood why Adam or Khara liked/loved each other, or lusted to be honest. It all felt flat.
Thirdly, the formatting made it hard to focus. Now this could be an ARC edition issue, but regardless it affected the joy of reading.
I didn’t intend this to be a middle school essay, but here we are. In conclusion, while the setting and history included was interesting, not much else was. Sorely disappointed and feel like I need to watch a good RomCom to cleanse my soul.
