One of the better romance novels I've read! I found the characters lovable and their lives as political and public figures believable. I also appreciated McQuiston's seamless incorporation of queer history.

It's a good book and I'd definitely recommend it if you're into romance. I'm just not into romance, unfortunately.

Oh my goodness, I loved this book so much. I'd forgotten how much I like the enemies to lovers trope! Alex and Henry are such great characters, I'm genuinely in love with them as a couple.

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book and I can tell you that it is worth the hype! 

If you're asexual, like me, you might like to know upfront that this book has a lottt of sexual scenes. Was not prepared for that to be honest, I'm curious how they're gonna do that with the movie adaptation lol!
