Questo non è proprio il mio genere preferito, ma, dato l’hype, ho deciso di dargli una possibilità.
Bellissimo, dolcissimo, affronta tematiche molto attuali (purtroppo) per quanto riguarda la comunità LGBTQ+ e l’autrice è riuscita a farmi affezionare un sacco sia a Henry che ad Alex.
L’unica cosa che mi è dispiaciuta è stata la scarsa caratterizzazione dei personaggi secondari perché, secondo me, sarebbe stato molto interessante scoprirli più a fondo!

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND READ THIS RIGHT NOW! my first romcom book on a gay couple and i absolutely loved it!!
ok first off i would die for alex and henry but i love royal forbidden tropes and this was such a good twist on that. the book was hilarious, sweet, realistic, and most importantly, hot as fuck.

This book was soooooooo cute. I loved it a lot. It was giving Princess Diaries a bit and that’s such a vibe. Also, Henry and Alex sending book quotes to one another was so adorable; every time I would read one I would squeal. My favorite quote was one they used from Hamilton: “You engross my thoughts intirely to allow me to think of anything else—you not only employ my mind all day; but you intrude upon my sleep. I meet you in every dream—and when I wake I cannot close my eyes again for ruminating on your sweetness.” Also, I appreciated the criticism of the US, felt like it was me and my friends talking. Also also, the jokes in this book were actually funny and that’s hard to get in romance books.
