"A compelling thriller that stays with you long after you've finished reading."--Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First
"A scandalous peek behind the royal curtain, with more jaw-dropping, OMG-twists than even the most salacious tabloid journalist could create."--Erik J. Brown, author of All That's Left in the World
"One page-burning scandal after another. Benjamin Dean is YA royalty."--Femi Fadugba, author of The Upper World
"A pulse-pounding thriller and searing romance!"--Publisher's Weekly, starred review

"Dean's deliciously scandalous YA debut is filled with twists, turns, and social commentary that brilliantly riffs off real-world context. Paparazzi appearances, tabloid articles, and secret notes give off a total thriller Gossip Girl vibe. A perfect storm of royal drama and intrigue. Recommended for all teen collections."
