After hearing so many people prasing this book, I finally decided to give it a read, and I was quite disappointed. The romance kept me hooked while I tried not to focus on how unrealistic the plot, character's actions, and dialogue was. It honestly reads like a Wattpad fanfiction, so once I started to ignore the poor writing and focus on the romance tropes, I enjoyed the book a lot more.

It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s cheesy. It’s a gay enemies to lovers, but one that actually focuses on the aftermath and builds on their relationship. But considering how closely it’s tied into the real world, and our real world politics, it’s not even close to realistic. It’s an idealised version of both the American political state and the British monarchy, and sometimes seems too self-aware of how intentionally unlike the main characters are to either their real world equivalents(Henry), or to whomstever would have been in their position (Alex). Still an enjoyable read.

I am left gasping for air as I close the back cover of this book. My favorite book of the year. I am in love. 

This book spoke to me and wove itself into my soul in a way I had forgotten an amazing book can do. I think I’m gonna start calling this phenomenon soul books. These are books I’m terrified to finish— a life I’m scared to let go of. I want to collect each and every one of these characters and crush them in big bear hugs. I want to cry with them about the lifetime of shit we’ve gone through together over 400 pages. It feels like I’ve known them longer than the 5 days it took for me to inhale this. The highs the lows the heartbreak the excitement and joy were just communicated so well to me and my soul. I love the way Casey McQuiston handles dialogue. I enjoy the characters’ relatable and humorous banter. I love the imagery. I adore sense nostalgia that they tuck around the edges. I am excited by the high energy moments and thoughtful in the moments of quiet simplicity. It may not be everyone cup of tea, but it feels like it was made just right for me. 

If Casey McQuiston has one fan, I am that one.
