I enjoyed this far more than I had any right to, really. The plot, as with One Last Stop (which I also loved) is completely silly, and it's definitely necessary not to think too hard about logistics or common sense while reading, but it was just such good fun. This is obviously a very sanitised portrayal of British and American politics to the extent that it almost reads YA (sex scenes aside), but Casey McQuiston writes such lovable characters that I was more than willing to turn my brain off for a few hours and get fully emotionally invested.
