I'm on track to basically re-read this book once a year, apparently. I needed something comforting and sort of quick while I wait for my next audiobook hold to come in! Also, we're just going to pretend to live in this romanticized view of the US re: elections, because it's much better than what happened in reality. I'd choose Ellen Claremont any day.

5th Re-read: In anticipation for the movie (which comes out tomorrow!). This is such a "imagine of the world could actually be this way" kind of book, where the people who do horrible things actually have consequences. You know, what a novel concept.

Anyway! I love McQuiston's writing style. There's just something about the way they write characters and found family and romance in general.

4th Re-read: Apparently I am just going to re-read this about once a year until the end of time. Which is okay with me! I love McQuiston's writing, characters, and these happy queer books. All three of them will forever be comfort reads for me. 100%.

3rd Re-read: I love this more and more every time I read it. Plus, it was the perfect distraction for election day.

2020 Re-Read: Listened to the audio version of this for book club and it was just as perfect as I remember! I desperately needed something happy, and this was the perfect thing to fit that. Glad that I picked up the audiobook as well because the narrator was fantastic!

Oh my goodness, this was a book that I just didn't want to put down! McQuiston's debut is funny, romantic, and looks at the political world in a fresh light. I found myself smiling more than once, and the characters in this book just brought the story to life. I now fully understand why everyone was gushing about this book!
