I knew I was going to love this book from the time I first read the back cover. An enemies to lovers romance between the First Son of the United States and the Prince of England? Count me in! I caved and watched the movie with my roommate way back in September and instantly fell in love, going out to buy the book immediately afterwards. It took me awhile to finally get around to reading it, but once I finally had time to sit down and read this book, I tore through 95 percent of it in a three-day span. This book was everything I hoped it would be and more. It had me laughing, aching, and kept me up half the night two days in a row because I was so invested. The themes of finding your identity and learning to balance emotions were strong in this one, and I truly loved watching this story unravel page by page. This was a true page turner that took me down an emotional roller coaster, and Alex and Henry's story will stick with me for a long time. One of my favorite books ever!

This book made me laugh and cry more than I expected it would. The characters are lovable and very real. The relationships they have with each other feel equally as real. The book starts off as a hilarious slice-of-life and very quickly becomes an emotional romantic rollercoaster with a healthy side of red-string-on-a-corkboard politics. Both moods of the story are fantastic. The only thing I didn’t love about this book was how long the chapters were; rarely was I able to read an entire chapter in one sitting. But the story flows well enough that it doesn’t really matter. I honestly just had a really great time reading this book. I went in with no expectations and before I was finished I knew it was getting five stars. Even just for Alex’s incredibly judgy metaphors about European politics and Henry’s equally creative clapbacks about American government in the first few chapters.

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!

I enjoyed this book for exactly what it is which is a fun, gay, romance. Not life changing but cute nonetheless.

I really wanted to love this book. At times it was the perfect, captivating romance I love to read, but at other times I seriously contemplated marking as DNF. I am not well versed in American politics/political processes, nor am I at all interested in these topics. There were sections of the book that were too heavily focused on politics for me to understand the nuances, often leading to me almost losing interest completely. On the flip side, the romance was cute, quirky, and captivating.
