$17.99) is a sweet and funny enemies-to-lovers YA romance romp. Rachel Hawkins's Her Royal Highness (Putnam, ages 12-up. Friendly or not, Millie and Flora have to live together. Millie finds the school utterly entrancing but is less than enthused about her roommate, a literal Scottish princess. Her school of choice is Gregorstoun, a fancy boarding school in the Highlands of Scotland. Millie Quint decides to spend her senior year of high school abroad after she discovers her kind-of-friend/kind-of-girlfriend kissing someone else. Katharine McGee's YA alternate history gushes with electrifying emotion, mixing scandalous secrets and political intrigue for a thrillingly addictive read. Before she is crowned, Beatrice must choose a noble husband (even though she loves her guard) when presented with a "terrifyingly slim folder" of suitors, she chooses Lord Teddy Eaton-who recently kissed her sister. Now, in Katharine McGee's American Royals (Random House, ages 12-up, $18.99), the first female heir, Beatrice, prepares to take the throne. George Washington was America's first king. However! These three recently published royals-related books (two YA and one adult with serious crossover potential) have me trying on fascinators and practicing my curtsy. That I would at least care about the royals. One would imagine that, having grown up with a Welsh mother (Cymru am byth!), I would be all about The Royals.
