The Rules of Royalty is such a sweet queer romance! Readers who loved the Princess Diaries, but wished there was more LGBTQ+ rep absolutely must read this book. Jamie Johnson learns that he is actually the son of a king on his birthday. Unprepared to be a prince, Jamie is relieved to be assigned a friend and tutor in Prince Erik. Erik has been raised as a prince from birth, so he is more than able to teach Jamie. As the two spend more time together, they start to fall for eachother...but will they be allowed to pursue their connection? 

The Rules of Royalty is a lighthearted and enjoyable queer YA romance. Jamie and Erik are adorable and I enjoyed how they learned to fight for their relationship. I think this book will mean so much to readers who have longed to see themselves reflected in this classic tale of secret royalty and handsome princes. The boys are surrounded by a supportive cast of characters, from family and friends to a world where LGBTQ+ rights are not controversial but accepted. 

Readers who love a sweet fairytale romance, fantastic LGBTQ+ rep, and The Princess Diaries will love The Rules of Royalty!
