I liked this book a lot. It was previously a DNF read for me, but I’m so glad I gave it another chance. It’s funny, compelling, and romantic. It was a fun read and had great dynamics and representation.

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

im not 100% sure if this book is MARKETED as young adult but it is marked as ya in the good reads genres, but i wouldnt really say its ya. id say its tittering on the line of ya and adult romance.

Spoiler

alex literally falls in love (or realizes) with henry through having sex with him, im not sure if thats a common thing or not (im on the aroace AND autism spectrum so it could 100% be common i just dont know LMAO)

Spoiler

for a fair warning, this book is about 40% sex and 60% politics

What happens when confrontational tabloid photos of America’s First Son and England’s second Prince of Wales threaten relations between the two countries? Why, their handlers force them into a staged friendship! But in between official events, Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry start to become friends, and maybe even something more...

i have fallen thoroughly and hopelessly in love with this book. absolutely head over heels.

this book was a warm hug that made me laugh and cry and scream into my pillow, and i cannot think of a better way to have spent my labor day weekend. this was definitely one of the easiest 5 stars i’ve ever given.

this is one of those books that left a big, empty gaping hole in my chest when i finished it and i have absolutely no clue what the hell i’m supposed to do now to fill that hole. this book has made me want to spend every second i can reading, but i also cannot for the life of me pick up another book because i don’t think anything on my shelf will compare to this and how this made me feel.

yeah. i don’t really have the words to say much else right now. read this book. READ THIS BOOK. it abso-fucking-lutely lives up to the hype and made my hopeless romantic heart very happy. cannot recommend it enough.
