This is such a cute story! I loved reading it and have already recommended it to others.

I like the social commentary and the hopeful feels of the book. The characters are definitely loveable and you root for all of them the whole way through. The plot was a bit fast but that is usually the nature of the genre and not a fault in my mind, in this case.

It's definitely got me excited to watch the movie!

It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s cheesy. It’s a gay enemies to lovers, but one that actually focuses on the aftermath and builds on their relationship. But considering how closely it’s tied into the real world, and our real world politics, it’s not even close to realistic. It’s an idealised version of both the American political state and the British monarchy, and sometimes seems too self-aware of how intentionally unlike the main characters are to either their real world equivalents(Henry), or to whomstever would have been in their position (Alex). Still an enjoyable read.

Super cute book! Honestly was a bit skeptical going in, as I've been disappointed by booktok way too many times now, but this one is totally worth the hype. Lovable characters, nice plot and an extremely endearing relationship.

I loved this book! I know I’m a bit behind on the bandwagon but it was still worth the read! 
The story was sweet, the love even sweeter. Gets very spicy at moments. Made me feel every emotion from my gut. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. 

Read was medium/fast pace. The story keeps you hanging on every second.  Absolutely recommend!

Let me tell you I didn't realize just how much this book was going to make me laugh and cry! I thought it was a great representation of someone who comes out and the difference between the level of support their family gives and how much it can really affect a person.
I was very glad for a happy ending, I don't know if my heart could have taken anything else!
