A sweet love story between two characters with amazing chemistry. I didn't love reading the political parts, even if it was fiction, but they were integral to the worlds of the characters. I would honestly love a sequel.

It wasn't my cup of tea, not that I didn't get some good laughs out of some jokes, but it's just not my favorite genre. I don't typically read romances because it feels like the character's personalities turn into being all about a relationship (typically they lose that uniqueness). Although this book did a good job at really making sure that the characters stick with their differing personalities, I just wish there was more build up before they got together. If I am remembering correctly, they get together about 30% of the way through the book. I would just love more interactions with them before confessing so I could have slowly fallen in love with Alex and Henry and really understand what they saw in each other prior to getting together :/. I could be bias because I'm a huge fan of friends to lovers with romance as a sub plot....
Oh also note, it's very political, hence the title. Which I did oddly enjoy!

I had high expectations for this book due to all the hype surrounding it and it did not disappoint! This was such a fun, cute story, and I absolutely loved it! Henry and Alex's dynamic together and relationship was so well written, and I loved the dynamic of all of the friendships in this too! 
I listened to this as an audiobook and it was a really engaging and easy listen which I liked.
