Summary
Gwen, the quick-witted Princess of England, and Arthur, future lord and general gadabout, have been betrothed since birth. Unfortunately, the only thing they can agree on is that they hate each other.
When Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers where Gwen hides her diary (complete with racy entries about Bridget Leclair, the kingdom's only female knight), they become reluctant allies. By pretending to fall for each other, their mutual protection will be assured.
But how long can they keep up the ruse? With Gwen growing closer to Bridget, and Art becoming unaccountably fond of Gabriel, Gwen's infuriatingly serious, bookish brother, the path to true love is looking far from straight ...
Critic reviews
"Gwen and Art was exactly what I needed right now – a delightful, heart-warming, hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and terrible jokes. I loved it." (Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper)
"Fun and genuinely funny, with lovely friendships and first-rate dialogue. Gwen and Art may not be in love, but I fell for them both." (Rainbow Rowell, number one New York Times bestselling author of the Simon Snow trilogy)
"A total, rollicking delight... Lex Croucher is one of my favorite romcom authors, and they should be yours, too." (Casey Mcquiston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Kissed Shara Wheeler and Red, White and Royal Blue)

Witty and engaging but childishly read
A great story with fantastic witty characters but any dramatic or poignant moments felt trivialised by the male reader sounding like he was reading a 5 year old their bedtime story. Didn’t match the tone, shame but still a brilliant read

Read the book instead
The voice of Arthur was overly childish, it did grow on me by the end of the story but could have very easily been read by just the lead women. The dual voices didn't add anything to the audiobook in parts it took away from the story.
The story on the other hand was sweet and adorable we need more LGBTQ+ romance books like this one.

You have got to read this!
Wow. A splendid, warm, funny tale with a spectacular climax.
Read or listen. I enjoyed the narration and thought that the characters voices were quite distinct.
Bravo Lex Croucher!

Read the book instead!
The story was wonderfully sweet and funny. Unfortunately, the narration wasn't great. The female narrator was decent, but the male narrator read in a very exaggerated way - like he was reading a children's book - and it was quite unbearable to listen to. I would recommend picking up a psycical copy of this book instead of listening to the audiobook.

Bad voice acting
The book was fun, and the voice actor for Gwen's chapters was fine. But the voice actor of Art's chapters was insufferable. The most bizarre intonation and the same forced kind of cheeriness for all dialogue, whether it was suited to what was being said or not. I can hardly get through those chapters.

Heart-warming and optimistic
I really loved this book. it is heart warming in all the right ways, playing on the emotions like a master musician. It has a very optimistic message which I enjoyed. The characters were all great. They are well written, with all of them having their own flaws to overcome, with wonderful dynamics between them. An excellent book and well worth it.
