Royally Crushed
Niki Burnham is the author of Royally Crushed. She writes books for young adults and teens. Niki has been almost all over the world to live. Her father was an army guy, which caused her to move around a lot. Niki now lives in Colorado with her husband and miniature poodle. Royally Crushed has three books in one, Royally Jacked, Spin Control, and Do-Over. I enjoyed this book because it has a lot to do with high school situations that take place in our high schools now.
Val has a dad who works as the president’s sidekick and a mom that is the stay at home kind of mom. When her mom comes out as gay the night that Val thought she was a normal teenager, her world come crashing down. Val is now the not-so-normal teenager that everyone thought she was. Val has a choice to stay with her mom and move into a new apartment with her new girlfriend, Gabriella, or go with her dad to a million miles away to a little place called Schwerinborg, Europe. While hiding the real reason Val’s parents are getting a divorce to her friends, Val has bigger problems. The guy she has been crushing on ever since kindergarten. David is now taking interest in her.
Valerie chose to move away with her dad, leaving everything but him behind. When she gets to her new apartment in the “palace”, where she now lives, she finds that there are no other kids around besides Prince Georg. She takes to him very well and has a lot in common with him. They talk and fall in love like every other teen high school book almost. Until, the get photographed by the media and word gets out the Val is not the good girl that should be with the Prince. The two families (Prince Georg and Val and her dad) have to stay away until things cool down. So Val goes home to visit her mom and Georg goes on a beach trip to help little kids in the hospitals.
When the two families get back, Val her dad Georg and Georg’s follower, plan a ski trip. They ride the slopes small ones then the big ones, they go to lunch and Val’s dad gives his daughter the bad news. The girl that is Georg’s follower is dating Val’s dad. This makes her day long and all Val can do is think about it. By the time the trip is over Val is a-okay with her dad and the French lady (that’s what Val calls her).
I hope you enjoy this blog, and like it enough to read the book. It’s a very well written book .
