Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
4.0

Red, White & Royal Blue was full of delicious moments. I loved the tension between Alex and Henry and watching their relationship grow from snarky banter into something much deeper. This story is kind of enemies-to-lovers, but I'm not sure I'd say these guys are enemies exactly. 

One of the things I appreciated most was how the story explored the pressure of living in the public eye. This added another layer of stakes and made me wonder how everything could possibly work out for them. The mix of humor, romance, and political/familial expectations kept me hooked from start to finish.
