Would give this a 4 star review. Loved it. Thought it was a super cute young adult book that mirrored Princess Diaries (which I am a fan of the series) and did a similar take on becoming a princess is NOT all fun and games. Touched upon a little bit of the darker side where there are pitfalls in who you interact with, how you act, backstabbing, disloyalty, etc. when you are someone in the public eye be it a dignitary, royalty, etc.
As much as I really wanted the author to wrap it up a bit more neatly, I also felt like they did a good job in showing that the ending is not necessarily all bows and cake. But that it is a work in progress for those involved. Would recommend to someone who enjoyed YA lit, loved learning about different cultures in a different way, and who loves a sort of fairy tale.
