Just a disclaimer that this is not really a review of the book so much as the other reviews I've seen.

The two largest complaints I've seen are 1) it is not realistic and 2) it is too political. I'm going to start with the second one of these.

If you read the back of the book, you would see that it is between the son of the President, and a Prince of Wales. If you start the book itself, you learn pretty quickly that the main character is very invested in politics (read further, and you find nearly all his friends involved in it, as well as both his parents). I honestly have to wonder how you did not expect politics to be a big deal in this.

Now for the first, why must it be realistic? Yeah, maybe it's nice every now and then, but I don't know about you, but I'm going to enjoy a LGBT book that has a happy ending, especially in this political climate.

In the end, the only complaint I really had was that sometimes the author did not seem to fully understand sentence structure, but this is a mistake I fully forgive cause the plot was amazing, and this is their debut novel. They have time to get it right. (SPOILERS FOR THIS PART! I also forgot I really wanted to learn more about June's relationship, because she is clearly hiding something, and Alex can be kind of clueless)
