Loved the book. A few dialogs were kinda cringe tho. Didn't like the open ending. But over all, it's a good story.
Idk why some people were saying it was too slow or hard to understand because of the politics. ? Totally not what it is.

Few books make me actually laugh out loud. But this one did. And I even learnt a thing or two, which I always love

After hearing so many people prasing this book, I finally decided to give it a read, and I was quite disappointed. The romance kept me hooked while I tried not to focus on how unrealistic the plot, character's actions, and dialogue was. It honestly reads like a Wattpad fanfiction, so once I started to ignore the poor writing and focus on the romance tropes, I enjoyed the book a lot more.

Charming and funny, I read this after watching the movie and it’s my first Casey Mcquisten book. I just missed them at the National Book Festival yesterday! But I loved the characters, the history and political intrigue of them being the First Son and Prince of England and enemies to lovers, and their fight against discrimination. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of was the present tense, and it’s very dialogue heavy. Overall it’s a touching read (and the movie is great too).

This is terrific! I am always skeptical of popular books because some are terrible but this proves that some are amazing! Alex is the biracial son of the first female president of the US. He hates Henry, Prince of Whales with a passion. When they get into a fight at his brother's wedding, Henry is forced to make nice in public with Alex. As they grow closer and become friends, feelings come to the surface as both boys struggle with being public political figures. I adored the banter and realistic personalities of both boys. I think the political aspect was well handled and the chemistry between both boys was incredible. I am so glad I read this and I can't wait to watch the movie.
