4.0

Another really well done lovers-to-enemies. I honestly thought I wouldn’t like this book but it is incredibly sweet and satisfying. It’s LGBTQ+ and incorporates politics into a story about an America that could be. I wish this was a historical fiction about what actually happened after Obama left office instead of what actually transpired. The story is fun and sexy even if it’s completely impossible to imagine actually happening.

this book, *chefs kiss*

an unlikely romance filled with comedy. i cannot get over how funny this book was. the characters have wit which makes this book 100x better. kinda nervous for the movie adaptation but as long as the actors are exactly how i picture the characters and the film follows the book nearly word for word, i think i will like it :)

i had my brother read this book and he loved it. i think his favorite line was

“obtuse fucking asshole”

or

“come on you backyard-shooting-range motherfuckers”
