This is terrific! I am always skeptical of popular books because some are terrible but this proves that some are amazing! Alex is the biracial son of the first female president of the US. He hates Henry, Prince of Whales with a passion. When they get into a fight at his brother's wedding, Henry is forced to make nice in public with Alex. As they grow closer and become friends, feelings come to the surface as both boys struggle with being public political figures. I adored the banter and realistic personalities of both boys. I think the political aspect was well handled and the chemistry between both boys was incredible. I am so glad I read this and I can't wait to watch the movie.
