Quite funny and relatable

The relationship moved quite fast and although some push back it was still fast for enemies to lovers

but did very well in the society expectations and real things people go through in different social industries

I overall enjoyed this book a lot! I’m a big fan of enemies to lovers and just in general a good “poetic lover vs dumb idiot” which this book has in strides. Though the major reason that this book gets 4 stars and not 5 is that I was gripped for the first 350 pages but the last 100 were a chore that I was less interested in. I just couldn’t finish it to save my life until I just sat down an plowed through it. A majority of the plot was finished and I just didn’t care about anything else that could happen next.

First son Alex Claremont - Diaz and Prince Henry of England are the fantasy dream of what I wish had happened back in 2016. Their lives being public firgures sons were so fascinating to read about.

I couldn't even handle the relationship they had with their sisters, June and Bea. Like their were some scenes where I was balling my eyes out from laughter or tears with them. The support these sibling had for their relationship was so good. Not to mention Nora who saved them for them from the whole bad turn of events. And is the most loyal badass friend. Let alone side character who helps Alex out a lot and is hilarious.

Nothing but respect for Ellen Claremont. A fictional women of color president. And mom who could've been reality and history.

I was really looking forward to reading this book because of all of the good things I have heard about it... but I was terribly disappointed. The idea for this book was great, but it wasn't executed very well. None of the plot points interested me very much and I struggled to connect to the characters. There was also no chemistry between the two main characters, Alex and Henry. Sure, it was a fine read. Good if you are looking for a cute romance that you can finish quickly, but there are many other books similar to this that are written much better.

This book was a cute and easy read with loveable characters. Very comforting. However it did make me a bit sad about what could have been (in terms of America in 2016 and 2020)

Adorable. The love letters? PEAK romance. And the YEARNING — wow.
Truly a lovely read. And so very gay. Definitely reading McQuiston’s sapphic novel next.

I've heard so much about this book and was a little worried it couldn't live up to the hype--but oh my gosh, I loved it. This book is everything people keep saying it is, and everything I wanted it to be. I felt so many things while reading this, and I felt so seen. I would really recommend Red, White & Royal Blue.
