Red, White & Royal Blue
by Casey McQuiston
Reading Rush Readathon book #2 for the challenges: read an author’s first book and read a book with five or more words in the title.
“History, huh? Bet we could make some.”
This book completely stole my heart. When I kept seeing it pop up around the book community I decided I would try it and I’m so glad I did. It met every expectation I had for it.
First of all, I absolutely loved Alex and Henry’s relationship. I could truly feel the love they had for each other and it's hard to explain but something about their relationship felt more real than any other relationship I’ve read about. I really rooted for them and cared about their relationship the whole time. All of their banter and emails back and forth were so much fun to read. And the bisexual representation truly made my heart smile. I loved the rest of the characters as well. They were all unique in their own way and I didn’t feel like anyone was just a background character with no personality.
This story as a whole was so refreshing for me. It was the first romcom I’ve ever read and it was so fun to laugh out loud and lose myself in the story. I also loved the unexpected surprise of having a female president in the book. That was so cool to read about. It was also fun to read a book about modern royalty because I never have before! Along the line of politics, I did feel like a lot of the political talk went a bit over my head because I don’t know as much about it as I should and I don’t like reading about it, but it didn’t take away from the story that much for me.
Overall, this book was so amazing and is definitely a favorite of the year for me. I will be picking up any book she writes in the future! If you’re looking for a cute fun romcom to read this summer or you need some more gayness in your life, make sure to check this one out!
