One of the better romance novels I've read! I found the characters lovable and their lives as political and public figures believable. I also appreciated McQuiston's seamless incorporation of queer history.

I really enjoyed this! The humour & all the character relationships—especially Alex & June’s. Alex and Henry are utter dumbasses but their interactions are so fun to read and their love story is so full of heart 😭. I binged the last half of this after work and was crying for most of it.

Politics-wise the escapist fantasy I think this was intended to be, unfortunately kept dragging me back & reminding me of reality :|
