Red, White & Royal Blue

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Let me be yet another person who gushes about this book. I LOVED it. I will admit to being too sure with it in the beginning, I wasn't sure where things were going, but quickly I was pulled into this charming story and the pages flew by me.

The unfortunate part of this review is that it has been over a month since I read the book, so I can't recall everything I wanted to say about it. I do know that I am already ready to re-read it.

Look, the characters are charming and likeable. They are ones that I could read 1000+ pages about with no qualms. There is fantastic dialogue– witty, funny, and at times powerful. Even the side characters have personalities that shine through. I would totally read a book about Alex's sister or his best friend, heck even Henry's friend! While at times I feel like the side characters fell way into the background, I don't think it really detracted anything from the story. Still, I could and would read more about them.
I will say that for guys who are so smart, they had moments where I thought “no, duh!” like something would seem obvious, but they just didn't do it...

The romance... so, so, so cute. I just wanted to bask in all it's glory. I wouldn't exactly call this enemies-to-lovers... perhaps rivals-to-lovers??? But, I mean, this is totally a personal take. They are so adorable though. Their conflict 100% made sense and not once did it feel overdone or obligatory. I was with this book every step of the way.

My biggest complaint? This is Casey McQuiston's first book – meaning there is nothing else by her for me to read!! I'm a fan and eagerly awaiting her future books.

If you like romances with witty dialogue, cute moments, with a dash of politics thrown in then you should really check out this book!
