Can't Wait Wednesday #3 - American Royals by Kathrine McGee


How's it going everyone!  I hope you're all having a lovely day.  Today, I'm back with another Can't Wait Wednesday.  If you're not familiar with the meme, this is a bookish meme hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming release books that we're excited for.  Let's jump right in!

About the Book:
Title: American Royals
Author: Kathrine McGee
Release Date: September 3rd, 2019
Genre: Historical
Pages: 448

Summary:
Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown.
Two girls vying for the prince's heart.
This is the story of the American royals.

When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected of them. But these aren't just any royals. They're American.

As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America's first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she's breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn't care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there's Samantha's twin, Prince Jefferson. If he'd been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince... but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.


My Thoughts on American Royals:
A while back, I saw a fellow book blogger on Instagram advertising the book and the book looked really interesting.  Even though it looks like a romance story, it kind of seems slightly like a dystopian story because the story that takes place in America and we have a King instead of a President.  Which means that history was slightly rewritten.  I'm interested to see what this book is going to be about so I can't wait for it be released in September.

About the Author:
Katharine McGee is the New York Times bestselling author of the Thousandth Floor series. She studied English and French literature at Princeton and has an MBA from Stanford. She’s been speculating about American royalty since her undergraduate days, when she wrote a thesis on “castle envy”: the idea that the American psyche is missing out on something, because Americans don’t have a royal family of their own.

Katharine lives with her husband in her hometown of Houston, Texas.
