Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
True Love isn't always diplomatic
I remember when this book first came out and everyone was hyping it up, I was intrigued by it. The First Son of America's first female president falling in love with the Prince of England
I tried listening to the audiobook, but for some reason just couldn't get into it. However after getting obsessed with Hamilton when they put the movie on Disney+ I was in the mood for more political romance and remembered this book
By the first chapter, I was hooked, Alex was such an amazing protagonist and the opening when they ruin the Royal Wedding is amazing
I wasn't sure what to think going into this and the beginning of their friendship felt odd to me but I think that is part of the charm, they're just two people trying to figure out their way in the world
I don't think I can say too much more about this book without spoiling anything else about it, but I will say one thing: Since Hamilton is what inspired me to get around to reading it, I loved the references that were made to it. The fact that Alex is named after Alexander Hamilton and they included my favourite quote ever:
You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent
Overall, this book was amazing and I recommend it to anyone who wants to read more LGBT+ Contemporary novels, though there are some smutty scenes in it
