Alex, the son of the first female president, finds himself ordered to fake a friendship with Prince Henry of England after causing a minor international scandal. Despite their petty differences, Alex eventually finds Henry as a friend who understands what is like to grow up as the child international leaders, and soon sparks fly. It doesn't take much for problems to arise when the first son begins a clandistine relationship with a foreign prince. Defintely a fun read for anyone looking for a queer romance!

I enjoyed this book for exactly what it is which is a fun, gay, romance. Not life changing but cute nonetheless.

I'm not really into reading LGBTQ+ romance, but this one was very well-written and made me laugh a lot. I also saw a lot of character development even though this book is a standalone.
