The excerpt was a fast read with engaging characters. The story line is something that hasn't quite been done before. I can't wait to read the full book

I can’t wait to read the rest of this book! The characters are so lovable and the concept refreshing.
A sneak peek wasn’t enough!

I don't know why I read sneak peeks because I always want to continue reading and can't! But I guess it's a good sign if I feel that way after 9 chapters.

I was worried after the first couple chapters that the MC was going to be a naive, hearts-as-eyes girl, which I can't say I am fond of, but I think she just needs a couple reality checks. The plus side to this is that there is usually a good character development and learning curve combined with self discovery.

I like the level of quirk in Millie and can't wait to find out what happens next between her and Veruc- I mean, Flora. I also foresee some character development in the princesses future too!

So far, I'm like it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the sneak peek in exchange for my honest review. I was not familiar with this series. The excerpt was not terribly engaging but I read it quickly. I don't think I will be seeking this out when it is published.

Big shout out to netgalley for providing me with an arc excerpt!

Just like the previous novel in this series, you will be captivated by the first page. Hawkins is extraordinarily talented at grasping you from the moment you open her books.

This sneak peek was very engaging. I can't wait to read the first book in the series and also this entire novel!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for allowing me the opportunity to early read and review a sneak peak of Her Royal Highness!

What I didn't know going into this is that Her Royal Highness is actually a companion novel to Royals. Upon reading the synopsis to Royals I can see the connections but I never felt like I needed to read the first book to grasp the concept of this one. As this was only a sneak peak and only showed the first six chapters I was left with wanting more. Not only in terms of wanting more of the book but also in terms of wanting more FROM the book. These cutesy romance books generally aren't for me but the cover is adorable and the synopsis made it sound really good so I thought why not try the sneak peek!

This book seems to have a lot of promise and I can tell it will be a quick fun read full of Science and Harry Potter references which I am entirely on board with! I can see myself pre-ordering this and reading it fully upon release!

My review will be 3 stars because I don't want to give a formal rating for a book I only got to see a few chapters of, and I always start my reviews off at 3 stars and go from there! I look forward to reading more of this one!

Loved the sneak peek of "Her Royal Highness"! I've read Royals and this, while not exactly a sequel, is a good side story with peeks at several of the characters from Royals. I enjoyed the nerd/geek humor and friendships so far as well as the romance which is sure to come.

Thank you to Penguin Random House and Netgalley for offering this sampler in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot wait to read Her Royal Highness. Millie is adorable and down-to-earth and a geology nerd--everything I need in a female protagonist in 2019. There's great sapphic rep, and did I mention the SCIENCE?! The writing is genuinely funny, as well as honest.

The sampler ended on a sort of cliffhanger, if you will, and I spy a preorder in my future. I need to know what happens!

Side note: I love all the descriptions of the school and Scottish Highlands. It sounds beautiful. Take me there.

This review of Her Royal Highness is based entirely on an arc excerpt, and not the full novel. Basically, I'm reviewing only the excerpt, and for that, I think it deserves at least 4/5 stars. Her Royal Highness is actually a companion novel - something that I run into frequently when reading adult romances. I haven't read the first book, Royals, but I didn't really feel like I needed to have in order to enjoy this sneak preview.

That all said, here are my thoughts:

Her Royal Highness promises to be a delightful book that puts a lesbian spin on a trope that is well-trod in straight romances. American Millie gets accepted to a Scottish boarding school for her last year of high school, and after having her heart crushed by her "sort-of-girlfriend," she decides to re-evaluate her initial decision to *not* go to her dream school. I honestly think it's a good character moment - she was thinking about forgoing an opportunity for her "sort-of" and in the end realizes she shouldn't forfeit that chance for herself. Millie might be running away a little bit, but she's also putting herself first. She has a loving relationship with her family, her step-mother and brother are great, and she's otherwise happy, but this chance is calling and she takes it!

From there, we get the set up of her meeting her new roommate in Scotland - Princess Flora. And things are only going to develop from there. Flora and Millie don't meet on the best of terms, and there's going to be some obvious tension between the two of them. The excerpt does end before we get more than two scenes of them together however, so I'm excited to see what will happen next. Given my deep love of "fall in love with a royal," tropes, I can see myself buying this book when it comes out. I can't recall other Royal Romances between two girls or women, so I'm excited for this!

When requesting this book, I didn't realize it was a "sneak peek" excerpt of this book. This book was an easy book to jump right into and not want to stop. This book is a young adult book, based off the excerpt, but was well suited for me as a 30 something as well. The premise of the book is friendships and relationships--a Texas girl considering an elite school in Scotland for her senior year in high school. While the excerpt ends at the end of her day of arrival at the school, the book certainly holds your interest and already I have questions of how things were turn out for Millie, the main character. I didn't want it to end and will be finding a way to finish this book now. HELP, someone send me the rest of the book? :)

I liked what I read, but disappointed that a full galley was not presented. I would not have requested if I'd realized it was only an excerpt. I will likely choose to read the full novel upon publication. I don't feel comfortable providing a full review or rating based off an excerpt. Netgalley's system will not allow me to submit this without a star rating, which is think is foolish. Three stars is where every book begins for me, so that's what I will give this excerpt.

I’ll definitely pick Her Royal Highness up when it comes out!
A boarding school in Scotland, a royal roommate and a queer main character? Sign me up!
Millie seems like a very relatable teenager. I loved the relationship with her father and the Harry Potter references.
The very beginning felt a bit rushed but the pacing slowed down towards the end of the sneak peek.

I am really looking forward to this book. Finally my favorite trope with queer characters, I need this book in my hands so I can know what is about to happen next.

Cute YA story set in Scotland at a prestigious boarding school, with a gay twist and some Hogwarts references thrown in.
The protagonist has a good relationship with her father and step mother. I have read only a sneak peek version, but the characters seem interesting and well developed.

I was given a sneak peek of the book in exchange for an honest review.

So far I'm really enjoying the book! This was definitely a page-turner. Hopefully the rest of the book is as good as this sneak peek because so far it is a very promising premise!

I love the premise of this so far. It's set in an exclusive school with actual royalty! I'm very excited to see how Millie and Flora will interact and how their romance will play out.

I can't wait for the book to come out to see what happens next!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for giving me a sneak peek of the book in exchange for an honest review!

So far I can see myself really enjoying the book! I found myself disappointed that I didn’t have the whole thing which is always a good feeling to have. I LOVE the setting (boarding school?? Scotland??? Sign me up!) and while I’m not sure how I feel about the love interest yet I’m sure I’ll LOVE the romance. I can’t wait to read the whole thing because it’s already exceeded my expectations!

This was only up to chapter 6 but it seemed like I was able to guess the things that were happening. It was too predictable. I still might pick up the book and read the rest to see if it stops being predictable.

Absolutely fantastic first few chapters, I can’t wait to read more. The concept of nerdy American girl attending posh Scottish school, only to have a massive crush on her roommate - perfect. It’s Wild Child plus Princess Diaries, but make it gay. I love it!

Can’t wait to read this one! The description sucks you in and the first chapters make you want to keep going.
