Ok, yes, it's silly, totally unrealistic, and completely over the top. But really, it's romance; what do you expect when you go into it?

It's also very sweet, and hot, and a lot of fun. The characters are cute and well fleshed out. Nobody felt flat. The dialogue is mostly fun, though there are a few points where it gets cringey. The sex scenes weren't too gratuitous.

Sometimes you just want something hopeful and fluffy.

The love story in this one is very sweet and often funny, and the dialogue sparkles throughout the book. But I think what really pulls me in with this one is the fantasy of what America and American politics could be. It reminded me a little bit of the movie The American President in that way, where we ultimately have a story in which the better angels of our nation actually win. And isn’t that what we would all truly love to see for a change?

I loved this romantic, steamy, gay novel! A great read of two political icons falling in love and the kind of hope we can have for a better future. 

While at times this novel appeared cheesy or overzealous and too idealistic on the real hate and obstacles that queer people face, it was still a charming read full of optimism. 

I only wish the other supporting characters were more deeply explored! I felt they were relatively flat and one note in comparison to our main love interests.

This was very cute. I enjoyed the build up of the friendship to lovers. I liked most of the supporting characters a lot as well.
I think Alex figuring out his sexuality felt very honest and real. I love their relationship and how Alex and Henry support each other fully. I want to live in this world where this could work.
