Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Synopsis

First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince.

As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you? 

Review

As an enemies to lovers lover, Red, White, and Royal Blue has been recommended to me several times.  I finally read it and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. I loved Alex and Henry, LOVED them.

Red, White and Royal Blue, is such a fun read I was literally smiling the whole time I read it.  If you have ever read a book and thought, I need to be best friends with this character, then you know exactly how I feel about Alex.  I love his personality and just who he is. One of my favorite parts of the book was when Alex was questioning his sexuality. It just seemed so real to me.  

Henry was about as much of a prince charming as you can get.  While Henry and Alex are very different, something made it work.  I enjoyed that this book called attention to how the media treats celebrities as well as bringing politics into play.  Yes, this book is a romance, but it has so much more substance than that. It is a commentary on our society, the bad and the good.
