I haven't read an Ally Carter book in years, decades maybe, but I now remember why I used to love them. Such good characters, plot, development of both, and just good writing.

Dual POV of two friends caught in the middle of an international Problem. They lose each other but are, thankfully, forced back together just in time to save the world and each other. A cute, actually realistic (looking at you, every girl-finds-out-she's-a-princess trope (but honestly ILY too)) coming of age/YA love story.
