Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
5.0

Wow. Oh wow. Did I love this book. It had me laughing out loud so much that my coworkers gave me funny looks. It also had me close to tears and my heart was squeezed with both sadness and overwhelming happiness. A book about with female president, her biracial family, and bisexual son who falls in love with the Prince of England? Throw in a hate to love romance and I was ALL IN. And I can honestly say that this book blew my expectations out of the water. I already want (ie: NEED) to read it again.

The character were so sassy and sarcastic and I absolutely loved it. The fact that both Henry and Alex had this amazing attitude and humor, but could also have such amazingly tender moments made them such loveable characters. I love how they used old letters in their emails to each other and this author did an amazing job of making these characters realistic, but also people to look up to.

The romance was hot and I loved all their romancing scenes, especially when their relationship was secret and new. I cannot imagine having to hide a relationship like this from friends and family, but to be such public figures and worried about what the whole world things - it is unimaginable. I just wanted to be their advocates and give them such big hugs. There were moments of heartbreak that were so visceral and that just shows how amazing the writing and storytelling were.

I could honestly gush about this book forever, but I just have to say GO READ IT. It will make your heart so very happy.
