Synopsis

An American girl finds her prince in this "fun and dishy" (People) royal romance inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton.

American Bex Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and Bex who finds herself accidentally in love with the heir to the British throne.

Nick is wonderful, but he comes with unimaginable baggage: a complicated family, hysterical tabloids tracking his every move, and a public that expected its future king to marry a Brit. On the eve of the most talked-about wedding of the century, Bex looks back on how much she's had to give up for true love... and exactly whose heart she may yet have to break.

Praise for The Royal We
"Hysterical" -- Entertainment Weekly
"Full of love and humor, and delicious in too many ways." -- Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author
"Engrossing and deeply satisfying." -- Jen Doll, author of Save the Date

Goodreads review by Emily May on January 28, 2016

You know, I pride myself on not being what some would call a "book snob". Sure, I like my classics and literary fiction as much as anyone else, but I also take a great deal of enjoyment from fast-paced, entertaining and light books. Sometimes I just want some YA fantasy or fluffy chick-lit; you know......more

Goodreads review by Tiff on April 14, 2015

4.5 stars. Review originally posted at Mostly YA Lit Real talk: This book is basically thinly disguised Wills and Kate fanfiction - and I AM OKAY WITH THAT.  But seriously, though, The Royal We is written by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, better known as the "Fug Girls" of the celebrity fashion......more

"My soul married yours that first night at Windsor, and while I'll be the king of this country someday, EVERY day I will be your servant." Did I tell you I've been having dreams about whatever I've been reading? For instance, a few days ago I read Superman/Batman: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice S......more

Quotes

"Smart, funny . . . [Cocks and Morgan] write like the pros they've become."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"The characters should all be familiar: the heir to the British throne, his mischievous younger brother, his granny and the pretty commoner he meets in college. But in this version by bloggers Cocks and Morgan (a.k.a. the Fug Girls), the girl is American. Nick and Bex's love story is so fun and dishy, you'll hope for a sequel--with royal babies."—People

"In the grand tradition of Curtis Sittenfeld's American Wife . . . A breezy, juicy novel that's like The Princess Diaries with fewer made-up countries and more sex-the kind of book you can imagine Pippa sneaking into Kensington Palace."—Entertainment Weekly

"Hysterical."—Entertainment Weekly, "The Must List"

"Every bit as engrossing as the real Kate and Will. . . . The pages turn as easily as a tabloid feature on the royal couple-and you'll end up just as obsessed with Bex and Nick as you already are with Wills and Kate."—Glamour

"Cute, well-written, and perfect for summer. . . . I loved it."—Buzzfeed, "29 Books You Should Definitely Bring to the Beach This Summer"

"The authors hit all the right notes in this funny, smart, emotional tale that will definitely appeal to fans of Jojo Moyes."—Library Journal (Starred Review)

"An entertaining read-but also a sharp critique of how we treat celebrities and what happens to people always in the paparazzi glare . . . Cocks and Morgan also know that daydreams should stay daydreams because the reality is much harsher. That's what elevates The Royal We from just a good beach book to a beach book with a message--while remaining entertaining enough to keep your butt in your beach chair."—Philadelphia Inquirer

"The perfect summer read . . . a confection of a tale, but a satisfying one, a romantic romp carried by Cocks and Morgan's storytelling."—Metro (Canada)

"Pages of biting humor and breathtaking glamour rewrite a fairy tale into something more satisfying than a stack of tabloids."—Kirkus
