A review by sisa_moyo
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
This is such a silly, goofy, laugh out loud funny book. It captured being young, the anxieties of navigating your potential, your future and feeling out a crush and all that so well. The banter was top tier, the stakes were quite equal to the setting and the world and the characters were absolutely loveable for me.
It’s obviously a super idealistic book, the portrayals of the intricacies and intimacies of those of the Crown are clearly fictionalised; the political movies are so rosy and idealistic - to help people; and I can tell you that that is not how politics and international relations work and play.
But you’re not reading this book for textbook representations of politics and political motives or biblically accurate international relations.
It’s cute, it’s funny, it has my least favourite thing - smut of any kind in the written word, but I still worked through the book and enjoyed it thoroughly.
