Summary
One of Buzzfeed's 39 Excellent LGBTQ Books To Read This Month And Always
Their Love Story Captivated the World.... The Crown Prince and That Guy from New York
When a lonely American event planner starts dating the gay Prince of Wales, a royal uproar ensues: Is it true love or the ultimate meme? Find out in this hilarious romantic comedy.
After having his heart trampled on by his cheating ex, Carter Ogden is afraid love just isn’t in the cards for him. He still holds out hope in a tiny corner of his heart, but even in his wildest dreams he never thought he’d meet the Crown Prince of England, much less do a lot more with him. Yes, growing up he’d fantasized about the handsome, openly gay Prince Edgar, but who hadn’t? When they meet by chance at an event Carter’s boss is organizing, Carter’s sure he imagined all that sizzling chemistry. Or was it mutual?
This unlikely but meant-to-be romance sets off media fireworks on both sides of the Atlantic. With everyone having an opinion on their relationship and the intense pressure of being constantly in the spotlight, Carter finds ferocious obstacles to his Happily Ever After, including the tenacious disapproval of the Queen of England. Carter and Price Edgar fight for a happy ending to equal their glorious international beginning. It’s a match made on Valentine’s Day and in tabloid heaven.
Critic reviews
"Award-winning playwright, humorist, and novelist Rudnick steeps his writing in a deliciously snarky sense of wit while at the same time effectively employing his flair for clever storytelling in the creation of a delightfully quirky cast of characters. The end result is a fizzy, fun, fresh, and fairy tale-like rom-com that will restore readers' faith in true love." (Booklist)
“[In] Rudnick’s effervescent new novel...the question isn’t whether love will triumph, only how. The answer may make you cheer.” (The New York Times)
"From the screenwriter of Sister Act, Jeffrey, and The Stepford Wives comes this highly anticipated rom-com debut. Event planner Carter Ogden meets and has instant chemistry with the sought after Prince of Wales, giving way to a high-profile romance that comes with a unique set of obstacles." (Oprah.com)

Struggling to get to the end
Dull story, hard to get attached or relate. Choose this to fill the void after RWRB but it’s rather disappointing. Too cheesy and too unrealistic (I know it’s fiction, but I have read dozens of fiction books with plots that sounded realistic. This isn’t one of them)
Also narration just doesn’t work for me.

chesse bit fun
Good book very cheesy but the what made this book for me was all the background characters. Who were just great made me laugh mainly carter's friends and family. clearly predicted but didn't distract from me wanting to listen to it. completed in less 24 hours

stale and flat
struggled to finish is an understatement. there's no emotion, the characters were shallow and stereotypical and the humour borders on inappropriate. it tries too hard, and not in a good way.
