I bought this book in an airport because of a flight delay and because it was the only queer book in the store other than Casey McQuiston's "One Last Stop" (which I own and have read). Long story short, this book is fun. It's not my favorite version of the "American falls in love with foreign royalty" plot, but its fun. The characters are unique and ridiculous, and I laughed quite a bit at their antics. Sometimes the characters, especially the secondary ones, felt a bit caricature like, but it was fine. I do wish that Cullum had been punished for wrecking Carter and Edgar's relationship. I also wish that we had been shown at least 1 example of Carter doing well in the public eye, instead of being only told about them and shown all of the mess ups. All in all, if you're looking for a fun, ridiculous, easy, gay book, Playing the Palace might just be what you're looking for.… (mere)

Yay libraries!

This novel is a fairy tale. Some low-star reviewers didn't understand that. Fairy tale: no real-world accuracy, impossible plot, wild antics. Accuracy would've made it both unlikely AND boring. Who needs that?

Fairy tale. Okay? Okay.

What it does deliver exceptionally well is compelling emotional character arcs, which is the kind of reality I think most people want whether they realize it or not. If the MC's inventive descriptions and humor grab you in the first page, you'll probably enjoy this as I did. I enjoyed most of the humor (unusual), despite some of the 'teasing' insults. I let the other character's reactions inform my own, as one does. Tone is hard to convey in words, after all. The families and friends are great, as is the awkward romance progression. The setbacks upset me, and the mistakes made me cringe. It made me FEEL, which is an author's entire job. I am really glad I gave this one a chance, and will read more by this author.… (mere)

What happened here? The book is fun, but it doesn't make any sense. How did they fell in love? What makes them good to each other? The only things I saw they doing is going in like, 2 dates, fucking and puft you're the love of my life I'm going to abdicate for you???? And the cheating? Omg, first of all, why did he meet his ex? How did he managed to go out alone? Didn't he know that people would be able to see him? And why wouldn't he tell the prince first thing after coming back? It didn't make any sense and even if I laughed a little, after 70% I was totally done and finished the book with the utmost hate for this characters.… (mere)

Hmmm. I'm at about ch.#17 and I have mixed feelings. I'm starting to think I'm not the "Rom-Com" type. Some bits are just so cartoonish and OTT. We shall see!

Maybe 3 Stars

So, I've finished the audio book and I'm still conflicted. There is some laugh-out-loud, clever writing, and memorable characters (I'm looking at you Abby and James), and then it devolves into slapstick TV comedy silliness, which I'm not a fan of on TV and certainly not in my books.
