Alex and Henry are one of my favorite book couples, I just did a reread since I adore this book and just got the collectors addition but also because the movie is coming out soon, this book was somehow even better then I remembered it, I laughed, I cried and I feel in love. This book put me all in my feels and is one of my favorite books. 100/10 I always recommend this book

My first dip into the romance genre in awhile, I thought it was a little too long and the pacing for me became slow in the middle. I found the ending more gripping though. Definitely had to suspend my disbelief on some of the politics involved in the story but it was a fun and light read.

After the last book I low key hated I kinda needed something to fix my reading mood so I grabbed this (lol reading this while the coronation of a new british king was happening was lowkey funny). It's lighthearted fun. I don't feel i will be obsessed with it like the others. Will not think it to be top 10 best lgbt books or anything. The comparisons to Young Royals now feel a bit insulting to young royals since I feel like they've been handling the topic better. Like it's clearly a book that's written in reaction to 2016 election. If it was straight I would call it trashy romance book but of course because it's gay that's a level that elevates it.  I enjoyed it a lot but just don't consider it some great quality of writing.
In any case it did it's job. It did what it was supposed to do
