As always, thank you so very much for your support. The Royal We made it onto the USA Today Bestsellers list this week (it’s a rather long list, but STILL!) and we could not have done it without Fug Nation spreading the word. If you’re in Los Angeles this weekend, hopefully we’ll see you on Sunday at the Festival of Books!

(As a note, because we’ve gotten some questions about this: At the moment, unfortunately, the ebook is only available in the US and Canada, because those are the places where we have a publisher.  If it were up to me and Heather, you would all be able to download it immediately everywhere, but we need to sell it in your country for that to be possible. Our agent is working on this even as we type, and hopefully we will have good news on that front eventually. But please know that we’re not intentionally trying to deprive anyone; we want everyone everywhere to be able to read it ASAP, trust me! Cross your fingers that we get deals wherever you want to read it!)

If you have lingering questions about the book, or want to read some of our recent press, I’ve put all that intel after the jump:

American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy-tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it’s Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain’s future king. And when Bex can’t resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother Freddie. But the relationship also comes with unimaginable baggage: hysterical tabloids, Nick’s sparkling and far more suitable ex-girlfriends, and a royal family whose private life is much thornier and more tragic than anyone on the outside knows. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he’s fated to become.

Which is how she gets into trouble.

Now, on the eve of the wedding of the century, Bex is faced with whether everything she’s sacrificed for love — her career, her home, her family, maybe even herself – will have been for nothing.

“The characters should all be familiar: the heir to the British throne, his mischievous younger brother, his granny and the pretty commoner he meets in college. But in this version by bloggers Cocks and Morgan (a.k.a. the Fug Girls), the girl is American. Nick and Bex’s love story is so fun and dishy, you’ll hope for a sequel–with royal babies.“—People

“In the grand tradition of Curtis Sittenfeld’s American Wife . . . A breezy, juicy novel that’s like The Princess Diaries with fewer made-up countries and more sex-the kind of book you can imagine Pippa sneaking into Kensington Palace.Entertainment Weekly

“Hysterical” — #3 on Entertainment Weekly‘s Must List in the April 3, 2015 issue

“Readers should prepare to lose their hearts to The Royal We, a loving satire that is scandalously funny and wonderfully romantic.”BookPage

“Pages of biting humor and breathtaking glamour rewrite a fairy tale into something more satisfying than a stack of tabloids.” – Kirkus

The authors hit all the right notes in this funny, smart, emotional tale.” — Library Journal, starred review

Cocks and Morgan tackled their first dip into mainstream fiction for adults and nailed it. The Royal We is a ‘wonderful tale of young love, peppered with animated characters, difficult hardships and self-discovery.” — RT Book Reviews

“This delightful spin on the story of Prince William and Kate Middleton is the perfect beachy, weekend read for anyone who loves love stories with a healthy dose of humor…. Part fairy tale, part cautionary tale, the novel is pure fun from start to finish.” —  Library Reads (Top 10 Pick for April, 2015)

The Royal We is full of love and humor, and delicious in too many ways to mention in one little blurb. I read this novel as quickly as I could, relishing any few minutes I had to turn back to its pages. An absolute delight.

Emma Straub, author of the New York Times bestseller The Vacationers

A joy from start to finish. The Royal We is that rare novel that makes you think, makes you cry, and is such fun to read that you’ll want to clear your schedule until you’ve turned the final page. But be warned–Cocks and Morgan have created a world so rich, a romance so compelling, and characters so funny and alive, that you’ll be terribly sad to see them go.”

J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times Bestselling author of The Engagements, Maine and Commencement

“The Royal We is as engrossing and deeply satisfying as any royal wedding documentary, and it’s a thousand times more fun, from the fairy tale to the inevitable foibles. You will want Bex Porter to be your best friend. You will feel the same way about Cocks and Morgan, who are warm, witty, hilarious, and moving in their depiction of a very complicated relationship indeed.

A heartfelt exploration of a life lived in the spotlight, The Royal We balances dishy decadence with an honest look at the sacrifices required to stay princess to Prince Charming.

Courtney Maum, author of I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You
