All the stars 🌟 this story, these characters have my whole heart. Rereading this one after having watched the film (loved it, btw) was even more precious. I can't even count the times this made me tear up on my commute to and from work, how I cried so much. I've read this every year since first reading it in 2021 and this will now be my annual August tradion. Can't recommend this book enough and obviously can't even write a coherent helpful review. JUST GO READ THE BOOK ALREADY!

History, huh? Hell yes, they made some!

this book does not belong to the genres I'm usually into, but it was nevertheless super enjoyable and inspiring. definitely a must read if you're into romance (especially if you're queer!)

Two girls,  sitting on a train, making out cuz they're definitely gay.

Fun little mystery. It was quite slow, there were some bits that got picked up and dropped  few times. I did enjoy it for the most part, but it think it would have benefited from some tighter editing. 

Jane was cool and great. I wish she was my gay mom.

"To the weirdos & the dreamers" ~ I love the dedication in Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. 

It is a great alternate reality story of Alex, the First Son of the American President (who just happens to be a woman) and Henry, spare heir of the British Monarchy. I really liked Casey's easy writing style, taking us on a journey of life and love between two young men, from two very different families on opposite sides of the pond. This story made me laugh, cry and feel almost every emotion in between. I am looking forward to watching the movie based on this novel and seeing Alex and Henry brought from the page to the screen.

very cute romance wise but a little bit too much politics for me, shouldve expected that though. 
the ending also just didn't feel like an ending? im not sure how to describe that but overall good book, I'd reccomend as a gateway for reading more queer books.
