Read With Reagan — June Book of the Month
Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to get swept up in a romance full of secrets, self-discovery, and scandal. This month’s Read With Reagan pick is a heartfelt, sharply written YA novel that will leave you swooning and thinking — say hello to Nobody in Particular by the brilliant Sophie Gonzales.
Princess Rosemary of the fictional country Henland is trying to lay low after a very public scandal. Enter Danni, a quiet, talented pianist attending the elite boarding school on scholarship. When the two are paired together in class, sparks fly — but so does trouble. Between whispers in the halls, political expectations, and hidden grief, their forbidden romance becomes more than either of them bargained for. Told in dual POV, this is a sapphic royal romance for fans of enemies-to-lovers, slow burns, and deeply human characters trying to rewrite the rules they’ve been handed.
“This book was tender, sharp, and full of yearning — in other words, everything I want from a queer YA romance. Danni and Rose’s voices are so real, and their love story is impossible not to root for. I laughed, I teared up, I highlighted like crazy. Gonzales has once again written something both timely and timeless.” — Reagan, Read With Reagan
