I’ve got to stop staying up so late to finish my books! I am again up at 2:00 am because I want to finish a book instead of going to bed. And yes, this was good enough to do that to me.

I was reluctant to read this because I have found the romance genre to be too often too cringey or too saccharine. This one was thankfully neither. This book is better than any Disney princess book. This is my perfect fairytale, and it pleases me greatly that Texas, where I live and vote, was a key setting. And it pleases me further that this fairytale is for every LGBTQ+ heart out there. And it pleases me most that so many hetero fans love this story just as it is, because they recognize that love is love.

My only gripe is about the upcoming movie - how dare they cut out June from the script!! Her relationship with Alex is so important…deeply annoyed.

Such a great, beautiful, empowering story of a reality-based fantasy. The love and support and feeling seen that we need to keep fighting for ourselves.

A fun and easy to follow read for the most part. Character development is there, but it could be stronger. Plot felt like a lot of low-hanging fruit, as if anyone could have mapped out how the flow of the book was going to go.

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?
