Red, White & Royal Blue

So when is the movie coming out?

This was such a warm, feel-good fuzzy book. Esp when reading more about the inception of the book. Casey McQuiston started working on this transatlantic queer romance in 2016. Despite the orange man election situation, she continued to work on this. You can see her motivation, values and intentions reflected through the characters. It's one of the best YA fiction I have read in a long time. The characters are diverse, offering inclusivity but also showing the bigotry that exists in the real world. The key villain who stays off-screen throughout the book feels a bit caricaturish but honestly, it's not about them. It's about Alex and Henry and boy do you grow to adore Henry through Alex's POV.
Overall, this book is a nice parallel universe with a woman POTUS going onto a second term, biracial hero and his adorable British prince. I thought it was like glorified fanfiction but it's not. It's amazing. :) (not that fanfics are bad but you get it)
