Elle held her breath as Darcy frowned thoughtfully. "Okay, got it. May I ask a question?" "Absolutely." Elle gestured for Darcy to go on. "There's no such thing as a stupid question. There's a definite learning curve to this." Darcy nodded. "All right. If your Jupiter is... in Virgo?" Elle nodded. "Where's your Uranus?" "My Uranus is in Capri-" Elle froze. "Wow." Darcy's dimples deepened as she smiled impishly. "Sorry, it was just right there."

I posted about my girlfriend gifting me the full three book set for Christmas yesterday but I just can’t get over how perfect and beautiful the afterlight exclusive special edition of Written in the Stars is �� This is the most perfect version of a sapphic novel and if you’ve never read Written in the Stars, let this post inspire you to read it. Elle and Darcy forever 💕

Being with Elle, around Elle, in the mere presence of Elle meant getting comfortable with constantly being out of her comfort zone. Paradoxical.

For the young royals fans

Princess Rosemary of Henland can't afford distractions. She's working tirelessly to repair her image following a scandal that lost the trust of both her country and her best friend. Unfortunately, when a beautiful and funny new student joins her boarding school, Rose finds herself quite distracted indeed.

Attending Bramppath College on a music scholarship, talented pianist Danni expects to be an outcast amongst the wealthy children of the elite, but she is pleasantly surprised to be taken in by the ex-best friend of the princess. The more Danni gets to know her new classmates, the more intrigued she becomes by Rose.

When somebody sees something they shouldn't and rumors circulate throughout Henland, Rose and Danni must either find a way to deflect the ever-increasing eyes on their relationship, or end it altogether. Because one thing is clear: if Rose's fragile reputation takes any more hits, the palace will do whatever they must to separate Rose and Danni. Forever.

(Coming out the 3rd of June)

Review:

A princess with a dark scandal, a new girl just trying to fit in, and the way their paths cross as friendship, romance, and scandal collide. The story follows Princess Rosemary of Henland who has recently gotten out of a bad scandal that left one of her friends dead. She's meant to be focused on the new year and on keeping up her image... but then she meets Danni, a pianist who has become her ex best friend's new friend, and someone who Rosemary finds herself drawn to. Danni and Rose begin a friendship but it begins to turn into something more... but can a romance work when Rosemary is meant to be married to someone else and the fact that she hasn't come out to the public either? Can Danni live with the scandal that follows rose everywhere she goes? This was definitely a drama filled book with a touch of romance and friendship. I do think other readers can have fun with it but I just felt like it wasn't as compelling and as interesting as I would have wanted. It's a fine YA sapphic romance and I would think that other readers can have a good time reading it.
