American Royals: A Guilty Pleasure with a Twist

American Royals by Katharine McGee offers a fun escape into an alternate history where America has a royal family. Think Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown, with plenty of teen drama.

The story follows Princess Beatrice and her younger sister Samantha, navigating the pressures of palace life, love triangles, and the burden of duty. While the plot might be predictable, the characters are engaging, and the "what if" scenario of a royal America is a unique hook.

However, the book isn't without flaws. Critics point out a lack of originality and shallow exploration of potentially deeper themes. Additionally, some find the characters, particularly Daphne, the eldest daughter, to be unlikeable.

Despite its shortcomings, American Royals is a fast-paced, entertaining read. It's perfect for those seeking a royal fix with a dash of American indulgence. Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes entertainment over social commentary.
