Nobody in Particular

I walked into a sapphic schoolgirl princess romance — the cover is very accurate — but partway through, a mystery broke out.

The story is that a middle-class American gets into a fancy boarding school on a music scholarship and then falls into the arms of a princess, who as heir to the throne, is very much not out as lesbian. She already had a sullied name because of a party gone very wrong the year before. The last thing she or the royal family needs is another scandal. So of course they get one.

The stakes were high enough to drive the plot, but never so high that I pushed the book aside, as I'm prone to doing. While I admit to being overly fond of sapphic schoolgirl princess romances, I promise you this is very well done.
