Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
5.0
Wow! I finally got around to this and I can't add much to the other 5 star reviews other than just to say I am another person who loved this.
Ramon De Ocampo's narration is flawless. He swings between male & female, American & Texan & Mexican & British accents with such ease it seems as if they are all his native tongue.
This book was NOT rushed. In an age where authors are churning out audiobooks clocking in at barely 6 hours ~ this was twice that. Yet it was not mindless fluff, repetitive, nor belabored internal monologues. I enjoyed getting to know and love Alex & Henry. An especially amazing feat since this is entirely written from Alex's point of view. I was cheering for them individually as well as for their relationship. Yet it is all so real. Beyond even Alex & Henry, all these characters are so human. Perfect in their imperfections. Maneuvering the politics was handled in a unique way to the typical "White house" romances I've read.
Totally worth the 6 months I spent on the library's waiting list.
