Heir Affair

This is the second book in the Royal We series. It recaps what happens in the first (The Royal We) early on, so if was awhile since you read or listened to it (like me!), the authors refresh your memory.

I wanted to note that I listened to the audiobook, instead of reading it.

These books are pretty much William and Kate fan fiction. The first book is ripped from the headlines on how the real Will and Kate met and fell in love. This book also has shades of Harry and Meghan. It's fun and not to be taken seriously.

The Heir Affair delves deeper into the fictionalized relationship. It's still a fun, summer read, but it does touch on touchy subjects, such as infertility. There is also family drama that I didn't expect.

It was lightened with cute scenes, like the Queen and Bex bonding over Cubs baseball.

Overall, a good, fluffy book! Great for summer, something to lose yourself in and have fun!

I remember really liking [b:The Royal We 22875451 The Royal We (Royal We, #1) Heather Cocks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1421107274l/22875451.SY75.jpg 42439906] so I was stoked for a sequel, but as soon as I picked it up I was like, wait I don't reallllly remember what happened in The Royal We? I searched online for a plot summary but couldn't really find a good one? (Usually I need to do this for YA trilogies and usually it's not hard to find helpful summaries for those!) Anyway I eventually just dove in and the characters started to come back to me. It's still a funny, sharply-observed novel and, as you'd expect from the Fug Girls, I appreciate their ability to contextualize fashion and pop culture as cultural driving forces. I did feel like maybe it was a little long and a little meandery with some of its side plots, but like, still, I read it all in a weekend.
