✳️I've always wanted to read Casey McQuiston's Red White & Royal Blue. I was dying to read this bestseller and many thanks to @chikusbookclub for hosting this book reading in June. I'm glad that I got to read this one during The Pride month.✳️

✳️June was not a good month for me as far as reading goes. I was in a slump and therefore I was mostly into watching series and sitcoms. Thankfully, this book pulled me out of the slump. I never expected to love Henry and Alex this much. If my reading mood had been really good, I would have given this book 5 stars. But unfortunately it wasn't. But I'm sure if I read this book again, I will definitely change my mind.✳️

✳️Alex and Henry... Henry and Alex... Best couple I've read in books in a while. When I first saw the emails I was literally shocked. After reading 'Beautiful World Where Are You' I was scared to read emails in books πŸ˜‚ (No offense to Sally Rooney,  I'm not an intellectual person at all πŸ˜‚). But fortunately, these emails made me connect with them on another level. I felt like I knew Alex and Henry personally.✳️

✳️Like Nora, June, Pez, Bea, Ellen, Luna... there are many characters that were so lovable. Each person had their own voice and they all stood out throughout the story. This is one of the best books in which we fell in love with all the supporting characters (except the villain πŸ˜‚). I think I'm the only person who loved the political fights in this book. I like books and films that deal with politics. While the film comes out I want to see the red, white and royal blue jacket..! Casey McQuiston has become one of my favorite authors. Now I can't wait to read her other works like One Last Stop.✳️
