I enjoyed this book for exactly what it is which is a fun, gay, romance. Not life changing but cute nonetheless.

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.

Ganska klassisk romcom, rolig.

Lite för lyckligt och orealistiskt slut för min del
