Cute as fuck.
I’ve got nothing else to say.
Update: it’s been around 3 years and I’m about to reread this because I remember absolutely nothing

3.5 ⭐️, review in English is down below.
Es similar a RW&RB, pero a diferencia de RW&RB, este libro fue escrito por un autor que realmente tiene un talento para escribir, que tenía un plan/guion y lo siguió hasta el final.
Luc y Oliver, nuestra pareja protagonista, no son aburridos ni artificiales; cada uno tiene sus propios problemas y, lo que es sumamente importante para mí, no se da ese “insta-love” repentino. De hecho, siento que Alexis Hall se tomó su tiempo para desarrollar el conflicto enemies-to-lovers. Pero, en el otro lado de la moneda, este enfoque tiene sentido dado el desarrollo de los personajes principales, algo poco común en libros del género Young/New Adult.
La trama fluye, el autor no aborda mucho temas politicos y sociales. Y cuando sí los aborda, todo se presenta con ese característico humor británico, un tanto ácido y sarcástico.
El único personaje que sí me tocaba el coño era Alex, un personaje completamente inútil, de relleno a quien Alexis usó para soltar esos chistes de tu primo güevon que piensa que los chistes de “toc-toc” son chimba. Básicamente, Alex no aportaba nada a la trama, más allá de ser una especie de recurso para infantilizar la trama.
Me pregunto qué piensa la peña que disfrutó de ‘Red, White and Royal Blue’ sobre este libro…

extremely inaccurate depictions of entomologists, way too many harry potter references, semi-annoying treatment of vegetarians that as a vegetarian i found irritating. SOOOO 2016. it’s funny and kinda cute though so why not
four stars because of the jokes, low standars and oliver holding luc's hands while they were having sex. bye.

This book was very frustrating and I'm glad it's over.
The characters are all complete caricatures, which made it very difficult for me to be invested in them. I couldn't get myself to care that much about Luc or Oliver either. The fake dating trope is what drew me in, but the story itself isn't all that interesting.
The writing style is dense and consists of rambling thoughts, drawn-out dialogue and 'quirky' moments. Some scenes also go on for way too long, especially the scene at Alex's posh club. The bit of Luc's colleague not understand a single joke gets old really really quickly and is not as hilarious as the author seems to think (no offense).
This book basically hinges on bad jokes and self-deprecation. It has some nice moments and valuable lessons, but it just wasn't worth it.

Generally very enjoyable but I cringed so hard every time HP was mentioned
