To be honest,
I read this because I wanted the kindle achievement 'Goodreads Choice Awards' bookmark... I personally love a good open door romance with lots of spice, so this surprised me to be closed door-esk. I skipped a bunch of the politics plot, I'm sorry, I know, but I wasn't interested. And I found out I don't love third person characters.
What I didn't skip was the conversations and emails between the two main characters, Alex and Henry. It was so cute and swoon worthy. I loved how the confusion of being queer was brought forward, the history of each characters discovery of being gay. "Straight people, he thinks, probably don’t spend this much time convincing themselves they’re straight."
