This story owns my heart.  Jadon is the second born child of a royal family and he's visiting the states when a couple of strangers record and post a video of him saying angry things against his country's prime minister.  It isn't the first time he's been in a bit of trouble for behavior that was deemed "not prince-like".  With a father who was born to be king of a small, insular island kingdom and a mother who was born and raised in America, Jadon has struggled to feel like he fit in with the citizens of the kingdom her represents.  Thankfully it's his older sister that will one day wear the crown - Reverie's first ever female heir to the throne - but his rant about a political leader is still an issue that must be addressed.  

Jadon's parents decide to leave him in the states for an undetermined length of time with the hope that he will learn how to be the prince his people deserve.  He attends a private school where he meets and falls for Reiss, a pink-haired young man whose family owns a coffee shop and who hopes to be a filmmaker someday.  The story that ensues is one of growth; of learning to love yourself; of finding the balance between who you are and the responsibilities that are before you.  

I fell in love with the characters.  Their interactions with one another were so relatable and heartfelt.  This is the first book I've read by this author and it will not be the last.
