⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars

Red, White & Royal Blue is a story about two guys. One is the First Son and the other a British prince. Being forced to pretend to be best friends after a wedding cake fiasco, the two get to know each other.

Honestly, I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I read this book, I loved every second of it! I was so invested in the story, I couldn’t keep my emotions in. I laughed, I swooned, I cried and I don’t regret any of it (weird looks I got from my sister where totally worth it).

This book is about family, friendship, diversity, freedom of thought, politics and searching for yourself in life. The whole book was heartbreaking, effective, genuine and honest.

I just loved all the characters in this book! Alex is just amazing, and his sarcasm is something I really enjoyed reading. Both Henry and Alex are amazingly written characters and so different from each other. Their way of speech also truly differentiated them, Henry just felt British and Alex felt American to me. I loved their dynamics, from the very first moment when they are enemies to their dynamics as boyfriends. Their witty banter and mails to each other are everything! Also, the other characters were super complementing to the story and the main characters. Bea, Pez, Zahra, Nora, June, all of them, even those who show up briefly leave a massive impact.

I’m not the biggest fan of reading about anything politics of political games, but this book made it fun to read. It really completed the dialogue and the story. To be honest, the complete dialogue just elevated this book to amazing. the humor, bickering, intense moments, everything.

Overall, it was a powerful, emotional love story and I have nothing but praise and love for this book! I loved the romance in this book and can’t recommend it enough!
