cozycactus's review against another edition
Alex and Henry's story was charming. It's unfortunate their personal relationship didn't get more time on the page. On one hand it makes sense. A large portion of the book focuses on politics since it's a central part of their lives. On the other, the story was billed as a romance.

i'm so glad i've FINALLY gotten around to reading this book!
i thought it was adorable. alex & henry are adorable. i also adore the women of this book so much. june, nora, bea all truly deserve the world.
i do wish this book was faster in the beginning. it feels like it started off slow and then picked up a lot of speed towards the end instead of having one even pace. i also think rafael luna did not deserve forgiveness. i do not like him. i sympathize with his backstory but good lord i wish alex and his family didn't forgive him. it didn't make any sense to me.
overall, i would recommend this book mostly for the romance.
