I mean there’s a scene where they do Queen karaoke, who doesn’t want to read about that?Īnd the writing was fantastic, I loved how easily everything flowed and nothing ever felt forced. There’s also a TON of modern humor throughout the book and there were so many hilarious antics and jokes that I was laughing and smiling like an idiot throughout my entire read. I also enjoyed a lot of the politics that came into play, it was a nice sub-plot to the romance and kept things interesting too. I love it! I lived for it! I’m always a sucker for any kind of royal romances too! I really enjoyed their forbidden romance/enemies to lovers romance and their overall story of overcoming the obstacles of their status, to be together.Īlso everything is so freaking adorable, they are adorable! Trust me when I saw you will be rooting for Alex and Henry the entire way. The whole premise of the book is amazing: the First Son of the United States falling in love with the Prince of Wales. It’s definitely a great read though so let’s get into that! It was fun, fluffy, and just full of ALL the adorable-ness! With that being said it just wasn’t enough, personally, to give it a full five stars. I, like a TON of other readers, really enjoyed this book. I just wanted to clear that up for anyone thinking this might be Young Adult because books get mis-genred like that a lot (mis-genred can be a word, right?). It’s not YA by any means and there are some sexually explicit scenes.
I would like to just start this review of by saying: THIS IS A NEW ADULT NOVEL. **** Trigger Warnings: Homophobia (challenged, of course), Anxiety/Panic Attack, & Public Outing of Character(s) **** Martin’s Griffin for providing me with a copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review **** Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. There’s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond.
Handsome, charismatic, genius-his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. What happens when America’s First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?
