Dammit Casey. I was so prepared for this to be as disappointing as Red, White & Royal Blue was but it was not. It was, instead, such a good time. McQuiston took the best parts of RW&RB (the friendships/sense of genuine connections and a big group of friends who all love each other) and just multiplied it by 100. The romance is good, yes, but the group of friends!! And they all have really great side relationships going which make me very happy (reminds me of The Love Hypothesis in that way).

I think it was so interesting having a romantic interest who was so cut off from the rest of the characters. Like these big emotional party times can never include Jane, and it maybe just gives space for the other relationships to breathe.

Conceptually, it was a bit ridiculous, but like in an 'it's a romance book, so oh well' kind of way. I also enjoyed the cliché romance elements that I often find lacking in these more 'TikTok-y, cutesy cover' romances. Characters with an incorrigible sweet tooth, protagonists who shut themselves off from love, mean-seeming side characters who actually have huge hearts - all of whom would fit right into a Harlequin/Mills & Boon style romance and I'm so here for it.
