100-Pages Checkpoint – Soft tension and gentle intrigue (3/5)
So far - a pleasantly low-stakes read that has me gently intrigued. Looking forward to seeing how the prince turns out, how America’s relationships evolve, and what Aspen is hiding.
I’m dropping the score slightly—not because it’s bad, but because it lacks a layer of depth or emotional weight that would make it truly cozy or memorable.

3-Chapter Checkpoint – Cute (4/5)
Pleasantly surprised. The caste system—feels a thin and unrealistic, but the emotional threads are warm, grounded, and refreshingly low-drama. It’s nice to see actual family bonds in YA for once.
The characters are coming through naturally—more showing than telling. The end of Chapter 3 is a great little hook: is he saving for a wedding, or something more nefarious?
