'So good. I'm breathless.' - Becky Albertalli
When Danni joins an all-girls boarding school on a music scholarship, she expects to be an outcast among her wealthy classmates - especially the gorgeous Princess Rose.
After a royal scandal lost her the trust of both her country and her best friend, Rose can't afford any distractions - even her beautiful new classmate, Danni.
But resisting temptation is harder than it looks . . .
As Rose and Danni fall for each other, rumours swirl, and the girls are forced to hide their forbidden romance. Because if the palace ever finds out, they will do whatever it takes to separate Rose and Danni forever.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In an intimate-feeling novel by Gonzales (The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist), an anxious scholarship student and a shamed royal princess navigate individual trauma in their quest for love. Upon obtaining a music scholarship, pianist Danni leaves her home in Boulder, Colo., for Bramppath, an all-girls boarding school in the fictional European country of Henland. At Bramppath, she feels like a fish out of water and tries to hide the parts of herself she feels might make her stand out, including her scholarship, her bisexuality, and her stage fright. Soon, however, Danni befriends classmate Molly; through Molly, Danni meets Rose, Molly's former best friend and the princess of Henland. As Danni and Rose grow closer, Danni contends with the increased public scrutiny that being in Rose's orbit incites, while Rose endeavors to salvage her own reputation following a traumatic event involving reckless partying, which contributed to Rose and Molly's strained relationship. Via Danni and Rose's alternating first-person POVs, Gonzales explores heavy emotional themes relating to grief, mental health, and substance use. Energetic and passionate prose propels this queer romance, and elements of royal intrigue add suspense and friction to the girls' love story, particularly as Danni works to manage her anxiety. Danni and Rose read as white; Molly is of Korean descent. Ages 13–up.
