This is a light read that dapples ain a mixture of modern relevance aimed towards a mashup of political and popular culture, The writing would adapt very well into a romcom movie.
The story of a boy meets boy on a global stage is sure to delight gay men and straight women and anyone with a modern open mind who would enjoy a light beach read or sitting by the pool with a cocktail or two.

This book was not for me. Not because of the m/m-romance, I'm absolutely fine with it.

I could not connect to the protagonists and I had a hard time with the constructed problems that get the two of them together.

This book was so fun! The romance was sweet and read ALMOST like William, Harry, etc fanfiction. The blend of American politics with British royalty was the perfect mix for me.

Buckle up, friends, we’re going on a ride.

Red, White, and Royal Blue wrecked me. It tore out my heart and left me bleeding on the White House lawn. Even though it took me a while to actually start reading this novel, once I started I couldn’t stop. Though the added sick day and not being able to do anything but lie in bed aided in the completion. Maybe it was the cold meds, maybe it was the writing, but in any case I ended up a sobbing mess with 20% of the book still to go.

The characters were genuine, and lovable. Even with their undoubtable privilege, their emotions were raw and reflected a group of just twenty-somethings dealing with decisions that have the potential to change the rest of their lives. Decisions influenced by the prejudice of those who felt they could judge them, expectations from their families, and their supposed duty to a family legacy.

Alex is the First Son of a President the United States can only wish they had. Henry is a prince that England would be lucky to know. In both cases, it makes reality that much more painful in comparison. Though one can hope the real crown would handle such matter better than the fictional one. America, however, is dealing with a worst case scenario and the scandal in this novel would hardly make anyone blink an eye.

Casey McQuiston built a world I wished I lived in. She created people and places that were so tangible it made my heart ache. She also helped me deal with a grief I have been harbouring since 2016, showing me even more that I am not alone in my disappointment but there is still hope. Thank you for your work, it is outstanding.

I loved this book. It was sweet' funny, and poignant. A great look into political romance. The passion between Henry and Alex is so well done. You want them to succeed and I love their banter. I love that they batter together through hard times and make it work. A perfect romance. Would recommend.

This book is pure entertainment-frothy fun along with serious issues and plenty of romance. The two main characters are Alex Claremont-Diaz, son of the female President of the United States, and Prince Henry of Britain, and how they reach their happy-ever-after is a story I will be recommending to all! Alex and Henry are to die for, and I also thoroughly enjoyed every one of the supporting characters, whose own individual stories contribute to the plot and help make this a remarkably heartfelt novel. Highly recommended!

This book is so cute - laugh out loud funny (Literally, me, snickering at work while I read it!), heartstoppingly painful and absolutely adorable. I recommend it a thousand times over. The perfect romance novel to escape into.

This book was full-on delightful. A sweeping romance chock-full of feelings, politics, and characters to root for. It was also very cathartic to read this after living through the past two years of Trump and Brexit. I wasn't expecting to be quite that emotionally affected by a sweet romance, but it made me cry.

THIS BOOK IS PURE JOY. THIS BOOK HAS MY HEART. If you want laughter and tears and heartache and to swoon right along with the characters, you NEED this book. The happy tears I shed were ridiculous. This is the big screen-worthy LGBTQ romcom we've been waiting for. Smart and snarky, with endearing and complex characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and a young love story everyone will root for. This book is a brilliantly written gem.

This was recommended to me by a coworker who hadn't even read it yet. I was skeptical, but the cover was cute, so I thought, what the heck. I am seriously so so so excited about this book. It has the right amount of cheesy romance with a dash of politics, a heaping spoonful of a characters coming into their own and a huge cup of awesome. The characters are well fleshed out and honestly you can't help but love them all. Added bonus: the excerpts from all of the old letters or poems. They make the story so much more amazing- I was brought to tears multiple times, my heart was just so full. I would 100% recommend to everyone I know and everyone I come across.

A fantastic read. The romance between Alex and Henry was well developed and lovely to follow and both were well written and wonderful characters. Full of humor, emotion, and a whole lot of fun this is a must read.

Frenemies Alec, first son of the president and Henry, prince of England are forced to act as buddies. Explicit sex scenes. Some amusing moments. Although I have nothing against homosexuals, I am not quite ready for reading about homosexual sex.

It's super cute! A fun romcom read that I'd recommend to romance readers, especially if you're looking for more LGBT representation in your romance novels.

I really enjoyed reading McQuiston's take on a love match between the royal spare and the First Son of the POTUS. Lovely helpings of sass and snark, strong feelings, sexual chemistry and real stakes for the two heroes. I was invested, amused, delighted and affected by this book. Recommending it to all readers of good taste.

(Also, please pitch an adaptation to Netflix. Please.)

This book was a fantastic antidote to real life: a divorced woman president, an organically diverse set of characters, and so much optimism... I almost didn't need the romance. However, the enemies-to-lovers story of the First Son and the Prince of England is full of adorable banter.

Way to up the fucking game. All other Romantic Comedies out there have got some pretty tough competition, because between this and How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J.C LIllis the bar is set to the sky. Like, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Talk about a home run.

This book has everything. Political Scandal. Intrigue. Sarcastic disasters around every corner. And an absolutely marvelous romance between two absolute doofuses so sweet your teeth will ache.

Please, if like Romantic Comedies, steamy romance, and just two characters who match each other beat for beat in the most frustratingly sexual manner possible, pick this book up. It's everything you've wanted and more.

This book was an absolutely slice of perfection, It's everything we need in post-2016 election world. I cannot recommend it enough.

Mixed feelings ahead. I have read the other reviews and can agree there is a lovely, uplifting feel to this novel. The worries lie with me rather than the book, I think, and maybe because I didn’t realise what I’d signed up for. The is a new adult romance and as such has a lot of explicit sex in, which, I can live without. There’s nothing wrong with it, just not for me. Having said that, it’s not the main focus of the book. I did like the main characters but I never managed to stick with who was who in the rest of the cast, making me feel that these could have been fleshed out more (though not strictly necessary). And it was moving. I don’t often enjoy reading love letters between characters - a bit intrusive perhaps. This is hard to get right and the author did well here. A few tears shed. I do, I hope not idealistically, strongly question the Daily Mails entire role, but won’t say more here.

This was simultaneously maddeningly unrealistic and completely fucking adorable. (Maddening mostly because it's this awesome better world that I wish we lived in right now, dammit. It's a romance novel, so frankly, I don't really care about reality in general. BUT DAMMIT this world was so much better than the craphole we're dealing with right now.)

Anyway, I totally bought the adorable love story and I loved the supporting characters (please let us have their love stories next please please I want Bea to fall in love) and I'm a sort of royals obsessed girl anyway so this was my sweet spot.

(It's pretty explicit, in terms of the sex, so if you can't handle that, avoid.)

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review, thank you to the publisher.
I really looked forward to reading this book once I read the blurb, even more so when I saw one of the reviews had come from Christina Lauren. Unfortunately, due to no fault of the author, it was just one of those books that just doesn't gel with me. Don't get me wrong, I think the premise of the story is wonderful, and hopefully our world will one day accept and celebrate a gay leader, male or female.
I struggled to get in to the story primarily because of the tense, I didn't feel the characters. I am British, and so seeing so many familiar, current names amongst the Royal family kept chasing me away from the story. Also, and this is *entirely* on me, I can't deal with British speak in books - I will actively avoid books if it is mentioned in the blurb.
What I did really like though, is the end of the book, once the moment happens that we all know will come. Henry's mother inparticular has a great moment, and I adore Alex's sisters. Whilst overall it was not for me, I would quite happily read a book along these lines in future.
