THE SMUT I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED 🙂↔️
I am often reminded of the quote by Captain Holt in Brooklyn 99 when I read stories like this:
‘Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place’ 🥹
I loved this so much. The only reason why I gave it 4.5 stars is because there are obviously moments where things aren’t believable. But I loved the delight and hope Alex and Henry both signified throughout the book.
Say gay 🏳️🌈
Not so much a spoiler as a NSFW thing; it gets QUITE hot and steamy 😳
I would highly recommend this book! Thank you ✨

This book was a lighthearted, quick read. It’s nice if you want something easy that you’re not super heavily invested in but draws you in enough to finish. It’s a fun little rom-com.

I‘m happy to say this (mostly) lives up to the hype.
To get the obvious point out of the way: the politics in this book were incredibly strange. Yesss I know it’s fiction, but for all the escapism, it just became absurd to have the FSOTUS and Prince of England talk about how they were oh-so-upset about the lack of reparations from imperialism and whatnot. And everyone accepting their romance super quickly. And then obviously a happy ending, for them, and the presidency, and the monarchy! Happy days! A romance novel isn’t perhaps the perfect place for an in-depth analysis of these systems, but I do wish it would’ve been more realistic/critical.
The rivals-to-lovers bit at the beginning also felt a bit superimposed. It didn’t really fit their general character how much they supposedly disliked each other (I know this was because of hidden feelings - but it still seemed a bit silly to me).
Those things aside: this book was very funny (partly because of the absurdity, but also genuinely funny) at the same time as sweet. I loved all of their email exchanges, some beautiful lines in there. I also appreciated Bea‘s chat with Alex about what grief feels like - beautifully written.
This was terribly sappy in a good way and I surprised myself by how invested I was. Would recommend as a feel-good book.
