Consider Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot.
“Royal Wedding moves at an easy, conversational pace that keeps the focus on Mia's personal life: a busy life in New York, community work, and a high-profile engagement. The pleasure is in the comforting mix of romantic anticipation, social obligations, and urban-daydream details that make it an escapist, easy read. Limitations include occasional repetition of emotional beats and a surface-level treatment of bigger stakes, so readers seeking depth, slow-burn complexity, or gritty realism may find it unsatisfying.”
