This was the most entertaining read this year! I was hooked from beginning to end & devoured Henry and Alex's story. I have so many feelings about this book that I can't properly put them all into words but I want to note that this is my favorite cast of characters I've ever read. The characters were so fun to read, especially that the cast was vast. Each character had their own story and Casey gave them just enough page time.

Henry and Alex's romance was instant and I wished it would've been more of a slow-burn romance but nonetheless, their romance was fire. We get to see the hardships of how living in the limelight and the political world, you have to hide most of your life because it could quickly ruin you and your family. Henry and Alex go through wits end to be together and it was cute af.

There were so many times were I was easily going to give this a 4 or 4.5 star because of some issues I had but the ending really sealed the deal for me! However, I was often confused because I thought they would try to hide their relationship? Yet they would go to places where they could get caught, text, and EMAIL. I was baffled because I assumed they would be really trying to hide their relationship but they didn't really try. I was also confused by the emails because if they had each other's numbers why didn't they just text? Hm. Last, I wished the chapters would've been shorter which was just my personal preference and reading taste, but the chapters were too long for my liking.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book so much! Highly recommend.
