ROYALS
Rachel Hawkins

Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel
Posted June 21, 2018

Young Adult

Daisy's world is turned upside down because her sister is marrying a prince. After an incident involving her now ex-boyfriend and with the press now watching her every move, her family's forced to travel to Scotland for damage control. Daisy's not thrilled about giving up her summer, but she doesn't have much of a choice.

Across the pond, she meets the royal entourage, including her soon to be brother-in-law. Sure he's nice and all, but his younger brother is another story. Prince Sebastian thinks he's all that, plus a bag of chips. But Daisy isn't interested in him or sharing his spotlight. Too bad the press doesn't understand; they keep trying to make the younger siblings a match.

With all eyes on her, Daisy needs a crash course in royal etiquette. Miles, a friend of Prince Sebastian, gets stuck with the job to teach her the royal rules. Neither he nor Daisy enjoy each other's company, but they can't escape an order from the Queen herself. Daisy tells herself it's only until the wedding and then she can go back to being her boring old self. But the longer she stays in Scotland and the more time she spends with Miles, the more she begins to look at him in a different light.

ROYALS by Rachel Hawkins is the perfect young adult novel for anyone who enjoyed the recent royal wedding. Daisy endears herself to the reader as she attempts to muddle through all the rules and regulations. She's snarky and sassy and lots of fun. Daisy also clearly has a soft spot for her family. Her parents add more humor to the story, her father with his rock star past and her mother's nervous talking. While her sister appears aloof at the beginning of the novel, they come together nicely at the end. ROYALS is a fantastic summer read filled with drama, royals, and of course romance.

SUMMARY

Meet Daisy Winters. She's an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair; a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who's nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond. While the dashing young Miles has been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince's roguish younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. The crown- -and the intriguing Miles--might be trying to make Daisy into a lady . . . but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself. New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins brings her signature humor, love of Americana, and flair for romance to this page-turning Princess Diaries turned-upside-down story.
