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!

A really nice story. 
Characters are well developed and I liked them all even though they aren't all perfect or good. 
Reminds me alot of Heart stopper in terms of the slow start to the romance and the texts and emails. 
Some of the references date this book which is a shame, but I really enjoyed reading about the relationships and the drama.

Might have liked this more if the audio book man didn’t have an annoying voice. 

Didn’t enjoy a single character and it gave me the book repeatedly.

3 stars bc it wasn’t awful and there were some nice bits in it, just not for me.
