I was a little hesitant to read this due to the hype of it, but I am so happy that it lives up to its praise. This was equal parts humorous, modern fairytale romance, and informative (specifically regarding the overall politics aspect that can't be ignored. The only thing that somewhat bothered me (and this is a complete personal preference) was the exact timeframes after living through a terrible 2016-2020 presidency and a global pandemic (again, this is an irrational pet peeve I have for fictional stories). Otherwise, I had fun reading this and it's absolutely one of the better romances I've read in awhile.
