Politics and I don't get along. The happenings in the White House tend to spark my anxiety and with the year we've all just had, I was not looking to pick this book up any time soon.
Boy, am I glad that Libby came through for me because this is just what I ended up needing. This book has been sitting on my holds shelf for a month and the audio became available. I didn't know when I'd have the chance to read it again, so I decided to dive in.
I ended up binging this book in a few days. It's twelve hours long.
Red, White & Royal Blue offers an alterative to the 2020 election. We have a female president who is campaigning for her second term. The First Son and the Prince of Wales are sworn rivals. In the first chapter, they end up getting into a fight and destroying the cake at the Royal Wedding.
In order to keep the press happy, these two rivals needed to appear friendly with each other. During this façade, a real friendship blossomed and then it got steamy. I do have to say that there were some sexy time scenes, so if you're not comfortable… this may not be the right book for you.
To be clear, this book does exhibit a rivals-to-lovers trope, but the rivalry isn't that strong. This is why I didn't classify it as an enemies-to-lovers. I feel that the enemies-to-lovers trope shows real hatred and from the beginning Alex (First Son) and Henry (Prince of Wales) had this flirty type of rivalry going on.
Many people classify this book as a young adult, but it's really for the new adult audience, in my opinion. Alex and Henry are both over the age of twenty one and have fairly detailed sexy time scenes. They're not graphic, but these scenes leave little to the imagination.
Alex and Henry are the most adorable couple that I I've read in a very long time. Casey McQuiston does a fantastic job with pacing and evolving a relationship over time. The secondary characters are fantastic and dynamic, as well. I absolutely loved June, Nora, and Pez.
This book was a breath of fresh air that was needed after the 2020 election because it offers an escape to an alternate dimension. In this 2020 election, we have a woman in office with a First Family that I would love to support. COVID-19 isn't running rampant and we have an LGBTQ relationship in office to celebrate!
Red, White & Royal Blue transported me to a different world and I wanted to stay there.
