This was my first read from Casey McQuiston. Her name was all over the place last year with Red, White, and Royal Blue, but I wasn't super into the idea of the royalty trope, so I never grabbed that one. However...I now see the hype about her writing. This book was fantastic and so much fun.
The premise was intriguing by itself (because I'm a sucker for a time travel kind of trope), but the execution was just so well done. The plot moved seamlessly and just kept me turning page after page, slowly falling in love with McQuiston's fabulous cast of characters. They are all so unique, quirky, and enjoyable. I love the diversity in her writing and how it comes so smoothly, no inclusion feels forced and none of her diversity feels like it's just there for the checkmark. Her characters blend, feel realistic, and interact with one another in ways that just make sense.
I had so much fun with this book. I loved the friend group, I loved the romantic aspect (and I'm not that much of a romance reader), and I loved the fun of the plot. The hype was right...Casey McQuiston has got it going on. She's a must read from here on out.
