Tohle mě hodně bavilo, příjemná oddechovka, která je na první pohled romanťárnou, ale ukrývá v sobě i závažnější témata.

This wasn't as good as I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a five star read. I just feel like it was dragging a bit during the middle and I couldn't really get attached to the main character. I much preferred Henry than Alex (thought he was a bit selfish regarding their situation tbh). I still enjoyed it though. I really liked the concept and the original story. Would definitely recommend for a fun romance!

This book came to me at the exact right time. For 400 pages, I forgot all the bad things happening right now and the events of the novel warmed my heart. I love imagining the world where this book exists, and I want to help make it happen someday.

The book follows Alex, the son of the first female president of the United States, who has a feud with Henry, a British prince. They hate each other at first, but then they fall in love (awwwww). They have so much love for each other. Every time they had a conversation in the book, face to face or via email/text, I smiled. I didn't even just smile, I felt all warm and fuzzy.

There is also a supporting cast of diverse, well defined characters, which I love. I love that there are more LGBTQ+ characters than just Henry and Alex, and none of the characters are simply defined by their sexuality or gender. They all feel like real people. Many of them are politicians, family, and staff who genuinely care and want to make the world a better place.

The author describes this as an escapist romance, but it is so much more than that. It reminds the reader that you belong, you matter, and you are loved.

AHHH AMAZING! Super fun and very cute I loved the characters and the plot. The romance was so cute and I can see myself rereading this. I also feel like there is a character for everyone to relate to!

This is such a cute rom com! I am here for it, I read the book before the movie and I am so happy I did. If you know me personally I love an enemies to lovers storyline. What a better way than to have an American and a Brit both in political positions!

The banter, letters, miscommunication, vulnerability is just ugh I ate it up! I love seeing stories like these play out. This was a quick read, i recommend getting the extended book as you have Henry’s POV and it was chefs kiss!

Favorite quotes: “History Huh, bet we could make some” — “I can love you, I can want you and not want that life.

“Quisiera emparejar las pecas que salpican la nariz de Henry con las estrellas que brillan ahora mismo en el cielo, y poner su nombre a las constelaciones.”

Que bellos, que no se acabe este libro ♥️

Really wanted to love it, but I think this author likes to write lgbtq+ caricatures instead of characters — saw someone else use that and I think it’s perfect. It’s all so bulletproof and fixable, and everything has a layer of shine and positivity on it that feels disingenuous.

I was dreading whenever the emails were going to be leaked, because hello, it’s a book with presidency and racy personal emails. That was rough. Honestly all the political parts were rough for me, I am so tired of politics and presidents. It was nice to dream for a minute about a Madame President but in the end it just makes me more sad. “But her emails!!”

I waited a long time to read this one (library girlies where we at) and ended up reading the authors next book before this one. I was hoping it would somehow be different but again, caricatures instead of characters. One thing this author does well is tie things together in the end. Foreshadowing and hidden agendas, like Luna, are fun surprises.

Honestly I don’t think I’ll read another of her books for a while. I’m glad everyone is loving it and I’m glad we’re getting more lgbtq+ characters. Hope to see more!
