What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?

When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.

Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. 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? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic.

"I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy—this book had everything I crave. I’m jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time!" - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners


"Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

Strong showing for a romance, but something felt... off, particularly in the final third of the book. Sure it's a romance, where everything was a bit cheesy and the central conflicts never felt insurmountable, but something about how idealized and glossy the climax and conclusion were just felt ingenuine and like overindulgent escapism, especially set in a parallel-universe 2020 election. Is this how people felt about The West Wing when it aired?

I did really enjoy it at face value, and I prefer to weigh enjoyment a bit heavier literary merit when rating (in attempt to save my sanity while "reading for fun"). But ultimately, the political commentary felt hollow when set against today's climate, and I don't think it would have been much better back in 2019 either. This book screams pre-2016 election, in the peak of the Hamilton era when everyone was looking for our next batch of political heroes to revere. Maybe I'm just not a fan of treating politicians like celebrities anymore.

Heartbreakingly amazing and a warm ending. The writing of panic attack nearly sent me into one, and the stress and celebration were so infectious through the writing. 100% deserving of 5 stars and more. I cannot wait to watch the movie (despite them taking out June >:[ )

I felt like I was watching a Hallmark/Netflix Christmas movie - cute, fun, and a little cringe.

This book is AMAZING! love the characters and the bond between Henry and Alex especially! Been wanting to read this book for a while now but I went into a book slump after covid and pretty much put a cap on reading. Regretting that I did not read this book sooner so glad I finally got around to it!
