A fun and easy to follow read for the most part. Character development is there, but it could be stronger. Plot felt like a lot of low-hanging fruit, as if anyone could have mapped out how the flow of the book was going to go.

This book is a masterpiece. A true joy to reread via audio with Ramón de Ocampo doing the narration,

The love story in this one is very sweet and often funny, and the dialogue sparkles throughout the book. But I think what really pulls me in with this one is the fantasy of what America and American politics could be. It reminded me a little bit of the movie The American President in that way, where we ultimately have a story in which the better angels of our nation actually win. And isn’t that what we would all truly love to see for a change?

I loved this romantic, steamy, gay novel! A great read of two political icons falling in love and the kind of hope we can have for a better future.

While at times this novel appeared cheesy or overzealous and too idealistic on the real hate and obstacles that queer people face, it was still a charming read full of optimism.

I only wish the other supporting characters were more deeply explored! I felt they were relatively flat and one note in comparison to our main love interests.

This was very cute. I enjoyed the build up of the friendship to lovers. I liked most of the supporting characters a lot as well.

I think Alex figuring out his sexuality felt very honest and real. I love their relationship and how Alex and Henry support each other fully. I want to live in this world where this could work.

I avoided this for a long time for a variety of reasons, despite really enjoying McQuiston's One Last Stop. When it came to Red, White & Royal Blue, there was a lot of hype. When it came out, I was honestly just entering my everything-I-read-must-be-sapphic phase. And then at some point, I heard that there was some uncomfortable alcohol abuse in here, and I can see where they are coming from, but it is also realistic.
There are some many good one-liners, and I LOVE the banter. This is the future we could have had post-2016 but y'all just had to go and vote for Trump. Can't wait to watch the movie (I have read literally zero reviews on it so I have no idea if it flopped or what).

Wow. WOW.

I read this after N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth series and it was the perfect palate cleanser. A wonderful lighthearted and fun story with a cast of deeply lovable characters and a backdrop setting of hope, passion, and community. The character development is well done, the sass hilarious, heavy topics are handled without avoidance, and the depiction of that time in our lives when we're figuring out who we will be and who we are is done with care. Another wonderful bisexual story to add to the collection! I will definitely be buying a copy of this one and revisiting it many times in the years to come.

10/10 would recommend
