I liked this book a lot more the first three times, and it’s lost its charm some. 
I like when books have multiple plots, and this book is one of my favorite examples of that.

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 :|

i did really enjoy this book and the romance was built up in a really nice way and while having much more obscure problems due to politics it also explored a very realistic and relatable side to the characters. it would've been 5 stars but i felt that the major conflicts that had been building up over the course of the book were resolved much too quickly. the build-up was much more impactful that the resolution and that's where it lost some points from me. still a really enjoyable read with relatable themes and characters

I wouldn't say this is the kind of book I normally like, but I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the emphasis on family and the tight-knittedness that Alex's has despite their struggles.
