Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

5.0

Definitely one of my favorites. I've been looking for more alternative gay romance books as I've kind of gotten tired of many of the "meet cute" high school romances that dominate this genre (don't get me wrong they are good reads for the most part just get old quickly) and this book was exactly what I was looking for. The characters are amazing and relatable and multidimensional. I am gay and (partially) closeted and this book told me to just fuck it and be who I am unapologetically. I'm not going to spoil anything but the relationship between Alex and Henry is realistic yet still touching and lovely in my opinion. I've went to nearly all of my friends and been like YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW.
