"History, huh?...bet we could make some."

First of all, this reminded 
me so much of a 90s coming of age rom-com which immediately had me endeared. Henry and Alex were such great characters, so sweet, so charming and so easy to love. I really enjoyed the rivalry, friendship and relationship between them. Beyond adorable!!! 

Realistically, this would never go down so smoothly between the spare Prince of England and the First Son of the United States. I found the later chunk of the story a bit too cheesy and idealistic but hey, we don't look for logic in romance novels do we?
