Red, White & Royal Blue
by Casey McQuiston
I put off reading this for ages and I’m so sad I did.
FSOTUS (lol) and a prince fall in love. Literally I don’t need to say anything else. Enemies (???) to lovers and all of my favorite tropes, including the MC not realizing he’s queer. “Everyone jacks off with their best friend, etc” had me cackling. True to lived experience and just so relatable.
I read some reviews criticizing the politics though. That they weren’t realistic or something. I’m sorry, but it is EXHAUSTING being a queer person and maybe I want to escape to a happy alternate universe where things went a different way in 2016??? A royal family member talking about returning stolen property and not wanting to be a royal. And a female POTUS (who is also a super supportive mom) and a non white MC and frank discussions and real connection. It’s a book. Let me have this.
I KNOW it’s far fetched, but let people enjoy things.
