The Royal We spans about eight years of the lives of Bex, Nick, and their family and friends. The story starts in present day and then is told in flashbacks, leading up to the closing scene which again takes place in present day. The technique works well here, because the relationships I started reading about in modern day are quite different from where they started. I liked this book because it wasn't a "She met a prince, they fell in love, she married him and became queen, and they both ruled the land happily ever after." Oh no. This is real life, and I love it! It's full of high highs, low lows, betrayals, keeping up appearances, relationship fatigue, family drama, and so many other things that go wrong in a real life love story...
