Not really sure what to make of this one. It came off as very one-sided and fawning of Meghan and Harry to the point where I was rolling my eyes a bit. There is virtually no criticism of them whatsoever, with the only exception being their choice to release the Megxit statement on their website without consulting the rest of the family (but even that is couched as something they were "forced" to do by the Palace's stonewalling them). But beyond that, you'd think they'd never done anything wrong. It seems pretty clear this was all extremely sanctioned by the Sussexes, even if they didn't work directly with the author.

As someone generally sympathetic to their side of the story and grossed out by the racist and sexist coverage of Meghan and the general ickiness of British tabloids, I found it an easy, enjoyable read. I really wish it had been presented it a more balanced way or at least been more subtle in its hero worship. Written as it is, it will only be well-received by people who already agree with the author (as demonstrated by the truckload of one-star reviews here). A less hagiographic telling could've been more effective at getting non-hardcore H+M fans to understand their perspective.

It's a little sloppily written, with some confusing dangling modifiers and noticeable typos in the last 10%, and I think you could gain all the key points from the articles written about the book's release.
