The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

Summary

This is the story (based on Will and Kate) of Bex, a Midwestern girl who spends a semester at Oxford and ends up falling in love with Nicholas, Prince of Wales.  Over the years they go through many ups and downs in their relationship, all under scrutiny by their family, friends, and of course, the paparazzi.  We are privy to the ins and outs of what it entails for someone to become a part of the royal family and descriptions of the innermost rooms of some famous English castles.  Two pivotal characters are Bex’s over achieving twin sister Lacey, who is jealous of all the attention her sister is receiving, and Nicholas’ precocious and charming brother, Freddie. The authors do a great job of describing the British monarchy idiosyncrasies, and although a bit long, this was a fun and entertaining read.
