I got bored and annoyed at the lack of research into royalty and governments in general. I didn'  find the characters all that likeable.

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.

Warm fuzzy feelings all the way through, though sometimes they were only an undercurrent. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish

Alex, the son of the first female president, finds himself ordered to fake a friendship with Prince Henry of England after causing a minor international scandal. Despite their petty differences, Alex eventually finds Henry as a friend who understands what is like to grow up as the child international leaders, and soon sparks fly. It doesn't take much for problems to arise when the first son begins a clandistine relationship with a foreign prince. Defintely a fun read for anyone looking for a queer romance!
