“Red, White, and Royal Blue” is the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story of the year. There is a gay relationship that is absolutely wonderful, and all that angsty, misunderstandings-abound bullshit is very much absent. There are real world parallels that are equally fascinating and bittersweet.
There are extremely intelligent and take-no-nonsense female characters (June, Ellen, Nora, Bea, Catherine, Zahra). There are quite a few Star Wars references. But then, once Henry and Alex begin to spend time together in order to set right their big blunder at the Royal Wedding, the two grow closer and discover they have way more in common than they ever could’ve imagined.
He also has a rivalry with the Prince of England, Henry, whom he’s hated since their first meeting years ago in which Henry acted like total tool. Alex is ambitious, intelligent, and very into politics. His mother is the first female president of America, and for the first few chapters we get to know Alex, his sister June, and their close friend Nora, who’s the granddaughter of the Vice President. The story follows Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the White House. I am SO GLAD I did because this book is so warm and emotional and beautiful that it deserves all the stars. But when I saw someone recommending it in my OSRBC Facebook group, I reconsidered and figured, “What can it hurt?” So I requested a copy and was granted one. However, when I came across it the first time on NetGalley, I skated right on by with little interest. “Red, White, and Royal Blue” is the first book written by Casey McQuiston. Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter are producing for Berlanti/Schechter Films, with Lopez, McQuiston, and Michael McGrath serving as executive producers.I received an ARC e-book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Red, White & Royal Blue stormed the bestseller lists in 2019.
