It’s no secret that Claire Gross is fascinated by all things royal. But what no one knows is that this interest is due to the fact that her very own beloved cousin Belle is the commoner engaged to the Prince of England! And Claire is going to be a junior bridesmaid be in the wedding. As exciting as this news might seem, though, Claire is less than thrilled. For one thing, she's not allowed to tell anyone—including her best friend, Evie. For another, Claire’s parents are divorced, and she isn’t convinced that “happily ever after” exists in real life.
In England, Claire meets Pandora, a fellow junior bridesmaid and a verified “mean girl.” It soon becomes clear that Pandora is actively trying to break up the wedding—and that Claire is going to have to be the one to stop her!
