Kristina (502 KP) rated Paper Princess (The Royals, #1) in Books

Dec 7, 2020

I don't even know what to say. Honestly, I saw someone else say that this book wrecked them and I was feeling masochistic, so I decided to pick it up and read it for myself. Unfortunately, I chose to pick it up around 11 o'clock at night. Wrong choice! I absolutely could not stop! I read the whole thing, straight through, until almost 4 o'clock the next morning. And the reader I got my recommendation from was right - this book absolutely did wreck me. Not so much that I ugly cried, but enough that I literally felt a hole in my heart when I was finished. Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. Some books based on high school teenagers are so cliche and immature, but Paper Princess was different and extremely refreshing. I found myself relating so much with Ella that it was almost scary. The story felt original and I like that. Throughout the whole book, I rode the roller coaster of emotions right alongside Ella. The ending has left me devastated, but I'm desperate to move on to the next book and discover what's next for Ella!

Laugh of loud funny

I have never raved about a book so much. I don't think that there is a single person who has come into my proximity that I haven't told to read this! It is sooo funny and I just couldn't put it down! The fact that it is based on the doctor's true experiences makes it even better!
I wouldn't recommend reading this in public by yourself however, especially when you are sat in the waiting room at the GP. People are likely to look at you and think you are very strange when you are full on laughing out loud with tears running down your face!

This book is a really good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story which is based on true events and real people. I like how the characters renained hopeful of a future considering their unfortunate situation. However, like others have said I feel like the author down played the intensity of everything, despite this, some parts were still get hard to read. Overall, 9/10. Would read again and recommend.
