Published March 2019 by Penguin Books
Meet Daisy Winters. She's an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair, a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who's nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond.

While the dashing young Miles has been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince's roguish younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. The crown--and the intriguing Miles--might be trying to make Daisy into a lady . . . but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself. (Summary from Goodreads.com) 

I chose this book as my new read because I have read Hawkins's Rebel Belle and Hex Hall series. I enjoyed both of those series for the strong female leads and fun storylines. So far I'm only 20 pages in, so Hawkins is still establishing Daisy's personality. She is being set up as the polar opposite of her sister who is "perfect," whereas, Daisy had many, many flaws (according to her). I'm looking forward to a sister story where I imagine that Daisy will learn that Ellie's life isn't as perfect as it seems and her own flaws aren't really flaws. We'll see what happens!
