It's kind of insane to read in the author's note that publishers refused to give this book a chance because of the supposed lack of a market. I am very glad "Nobody in Particular" is finally getting the attention it deserves, and not just because of the commoner x royalty trope, but also because of the wide range of topics it covers.
Sophie Gonzales is one of my favorite writers for sapphic romances, and this is once again proof of why this is the case.
This book made me feel really comfortable, just like how Danni and Rose make each other feel, with all of the friendship moments, the forgiveness, and, of course, the sapphic main couple.
Communication is key, and this is definitely a lesson you can see the characters learn throughout this story. And even if some of the politics weren't really how they would work in real life, the vibes and the hopefulness needed in today's political climate made me willing to overlook them in exchange for a happy ending.
For everyone looking for a sapphic story, including dealing with grief set in front of a backdrop of royals and reporters, this is for you.
Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Wednesday Books for providing me with this ARC in return for an honest review.
