From Buckingham to Beirut, dive into tales where absurdity, love, and danger meet beautifully upon the altar of chaos.
N.S. Elizabeth is the author of The Forbidden Affairs of Buckingham Palace and 100 Nights in Beirut. After growing up in the desert-city of Dubai and the enchanting "Paris of the Middle East", she now lives in Canada with her husband and an owl sculpture named Winky. When she's not crafting tales of absurdity, love, and the occasional secret affair, she sips tea from porcelain cups—like the posh queen she believes herself to be.
The book was charming, bloody hilarious, good plot, well written.
Characters are amazing and real to life. I have laughed and cried throughout reading this excellent book. Can't wait to read another from this author.
For people who enjoy humor and sarcasm, this book is definitely written for you! It is written in a way that it truly makes you laugh all the way through. Being hooked from the first paragraph, I enjoyed every page and sentence of it.
I was hooked from the first line still laughing just thinking about the hilarious opening! Even if you don’t read the whole book, you HAVE to read that first paragraph. The protagonist is hilariously relatable, and the adult humor had me loving every page.
The book was hilarious and enjoyable, it's relatable to teenagers since the main character is 17. I enjoyed the Harry Potter references ;).
Absolutely excellent and well written. If you enjoy sarcasm and humor, this book needs to be on your shelf. I finished it in less than a day—and not once did I feel bored
The story gripped me from the start with its refreshing tone and sharp sarcasm. It beautifully blends love, mentorship, and the contrast between young and old in a way that leaves you smiling. N.S. Elizabeth even made me see chickens differently—as symbols of bravery and maternal courage.
The book was actually pretty good—I finished it in less than two days despite its length. The author leans heavily into sarcasm, but does so with strong, polished English that I really enjoyed. The writing is cohesive, the flow of events smooth, and the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter make it nearly impossible to put down. Addictive, witty, and highly recommended!
