I swear to you I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did… I didn’t think it would be a 5 star read BUT BITCH! IT SURE WAS!! This was so ridiculous but I have so much love for this book, but I’m much more eloquent in speaking so I couldn’t even hope to describe everything this book made me feel and everything this book does well </3 This book is everything I needed this year during this arguably shitty time, and it doesn’t shy away from showing that maliciousness we’ve seen but it’s the kind of media that gives you hope about the future we all deserve, It does such a beautiful job of showing such an “impossible” happy ending that we all rightfully deserve, it gives us that Jane Austen romance all queer folks deserve <3 I AM JUST ENAMORED BY THIS BOOK. I WILL BE THINKING OF THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I NEED SLEEP. GOODNIGHT YALL.

“History will remember us”
LIKE HELLO? THIS BRINGS ME TOO MUCH JOY

This is not the review this book deserves-if you want a lovely, sweet queer love book to read, this is for you! Absolutely the fluff I needed in my life.

i haven't been this invested in political drama in years. hopelessly funny and inspiring, yet realistic. i'm particularly pleased that it remained in one consistent POV for the entire book. alex and henry were endearing beyond belief, and i think i'll be thinking of these two for a while.

At this point, this book is a staple of romance reader's everywhere, but it took me ages to get around to it. I'm lowkey regretting it took me so long. I was worried that it would be incredibly unrealistic - the son of the US president and the prince of England, are you serious? But it took me by surprise. It was convincing and definitely based in reality, if a more optimistic reality than our current. I had fun reading it, would catch myself grinning down at the pages. Definitely recommend.

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

First of all, let it be known that Kit Connor is my Henry. Second, I thought it was amazing that Alex was bisexual and biracial AND the first woman president’s son. Hell yeah!! 

I absolutely adored the found family element of this book. I want a spin off of Bea & June & Pez & Nora. They are all so funny together and their friendship is so pure. I also really liked how Zara was part of the found family despite her bitchiness (which personally I loved). I also loved Rafael Luna’s development throughout the story. I was ready to yell at him for awhile there to be honest. He’s such a good mentor to Alex, and getting his backstory helped a lot. He reminded me of Rafael Barbara on SVU but that might just be because of the first name similarity.

This was such a fantastic telling of enemies to lovers to forever.

I was so pleased with the enemies to realizing you’re actually just gay for each other storyline.

The emails!! Oh, the emails. They made my heart sing. More like this please. @ every other queer romance author, I’m looking at you. 

I like how Casey McQuiston writes smut. It’s not obnoxious or gross or overly detailed. It’s written in a way that’s steamy and fun and not too serious. I really enjoyed that about this book. They’re a very talented writer!

When Henry pulled away at the lake house my heart broke so hard I had to take a break from reading this book.

When Henry said he bought a brownstone my heart nearly exploded.

Overall, 5 ⭐️s for this gay little book. 🥹
