I really wanted to love this book. At times it was the perfect, captivating romance I love to read, but at other times I seriously contemplated marking as DNF. I am not well versed in American politics/political processes, nor am I at all interested in these topics. There were sections of the book that were too heavily focused on politics for me to understand the nuances, often leading to me almost losing interest completely. On the flip side, the romance was cute, quirky, and captivating.

I love how different Alex and Henry's relationship is from their emails to the way they act together 😭😭😭 Their emails to each other made me feel things I never thought a romance novel would make me feel,and this is coming from a romance novel hater.. Anyways I'll be sobbing for the rest of eternity..

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.

I wanted to like this but ultimately felt very pulled out of the narrative by the whip-fast romance. The celebrity angle felt like it had more potential but was difficult to connect with in practice. Nor was I surprised or compelled by other parts of book. If you're in the mood for a silly historical re-write and have the imagination to flesh out the narrative, then this book might suit you. Sending good vibes to the author and all those who enjoyed this book!
