It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s cheesy. It’s a gay enemies to lovers, but one that actually focuses on the aftermath and builds on their relationship. But considering how closely it’s tied into the real world, and our real world politics, it’s not even close to realistic. It’s an idealised version of both the American political state and the British monarchy, and sometimes seems too self-aware of how intentionally unlike the main characters are to either their real world equivalents(Henry), or to whomstever would have been in their position (Alex). Still an enjoyable read.
