Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

5.0

"History huh?"

I don't know what to say about this book. It made my 16 year old bisexual, brown self swell with love and happiness and I am on a bookhangover.

It started with:
"Straight people he thinks, probably don't spend this much time convincing themselves they are straight."

And for godssake how can a quote feel so right and relatable.

I loved the representation of strong women of power and boys without the toxic masculinity.

I loved the Mexican representation because again I am brown (South Asian) myself and I barely see people like us in books.

It made perfect sense for Alex's end speech to make me cry so hard that I got a headache.

I dunno what to write about this book other than the fact that it probably gave me a heartburn and it'll be really hard for me to read cis, white books again.

PS. I loved Shaan (fellow Indian) and Zahra's small moments and wish they get a story
