This book has it all. Filled with all of our favorite tropes, and yet, this book goes beyond all that and adds some serious layers.

Imagine… the First Son of the USA and the PRINCE of England!!! Not only is that new and interesting, but both of these bad boys have so much depth and love to share, even outside of the relationship. They’re dealing with politics, overbearing moms, siblings, friendships, coming out to entire nations, paparazzi & more.

I adored both Alex and Henry, and all I want to do is read more about their lives. I don’t even need a full book, just give us some little scenes to quench our thirst @casey.mcquiston!

Do I need to say more? This book absolutely DOMINATED feeds in 2019 & 2020, but don’t let this one fall through the cracks now that it’s not at the forefront of your feed. It’s absolutely amazing and I’m so excited to read McQuiston’s newest book coming out this year, I Kissed Shara Wheeler. 💋
