Happy Wednesday! It’s midweek, which means it’s time for Cece’s Book Review ✨
This week we’re talking about The Heir Apparent — and I’m giving it a 3 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐.
If you love royal gossip, layered family drama, and elegant storytelling, this one has your name written all over it. It’s been described as Taylor Jenkins Reid meets The Crown, and honestly… that comparison fits.
The story follows a young princess torn between her royal responsibilities and the quiet life she longs for in Tasmania. What I really enjoyed was how the author weaved together the past and present so seamlessly. The storytelling felt rich and intentional, and the ending? Very satisfying.
What stood out most to me is how real it all felt. At times, it was hard to believe this wasn’t inspired by actual royal events. Even as someone who has never been deeply invested in the lives of the Royals, I found myself drawn into the drama, the expectations, and the complicated family dynamics.
Now, was it my absolute favorite? No — which is why it sits at a solid 3/5 for me. But if you enjoy stories about duty vs. desire, legacy, and identity wrapped in royal elegance, this could definitely be your next read.
