Just had to re-read it for Christmas!

 I didn't hold on, had to read it again. This must be some kind of record, twice in one day!

Adorable and sweet

Anyone who's read my reviews knows how much I was surprised to have loved Red, White and Royal Blue, considering I doubted its quality because of the overwhelming positive reviews. 

This is a new favourite gay romance, and I'm seriously considering making it tradition to read it every Christmas (definitely re-reading it this one). 

Two love stories, separate but sweet and gentle, nonetheless. I am partial to Zack and Richard's story, and I am very glad at the ending. 

Zack is adorable, like a pink haired puppy. And I live for Richard's love for Zack. It's so cute how protective he is of him. 

Plus, it's kind of great that the man all of the powerful people bow to and scamper to heed his every whim, while also openly gay and married to a man. 

Cannot over-recommend this book. I'm honestly tempted to re-read it straight away.
