Ok, right, I finished it. Can I erase my mind and go through it all over again ? Do I really need to say how much I loved it ? How much I wished there was more of it ? More of Henry, more of Alex. More of this book. This book was amazing, though at the begining it was a bit hard to be completely inside the story well, at some point I realise that I was so into it ! That I was falling in love with the characters, that I was falling in love with this entire book and that I couldn't get it out of my mind. Just Henry and Alex relationship ! At first I was a bit sceptical I thought it would be the kind of story where one guy is just into it for sex and that he doesn't want to say that he's gay or bi and that at some point he rejects the other character, well the kind of relation that isn't really healthy. BUT the deeper you go in the story the more you see how cute, how innocent, how pure this relationship is. The way they always support each others, the way they handle the plot together I just find it nice to see this type of relation between two characters. This is one of the main reason that I loved this book ! So please if you haven't read it go ahead ! What the hell are you waiting for ? This book is amazing. Plus, the friendship and the moments they spend together are just so cute that I could die to re read it like if it was the first time. When I closed this book my heart was so full of love, so warm and soft and it felt so good ! While I was reading this book well, it felt like a safe place and I loved it !
This was the book that made me finally fall in love with romance books about 2 years ago. I decided to read it again, and I still find this book amazing. It's so inspirational and beautiful and is well-rounded. I laughed, cried, swooned, and was angry along with the characters. Also, this is just a great story about the strength that unconditional love provides, and that we are always on a journey of self-discovery.
3.5 stars3 starsSometimes you just jump and hope it's not a cliff.Ok so unpopular opinion please don’t come for me. I liked Red, White and Royal Blue but I didn't love it. This book was actually one of my highly anticipated book that I wanted to read this year but it just missed the mark. I honestly thought that this was a Young Adult book but turns out it’s actually more of a New Adult book. I really loved the relationship between Alex and Henry. They were both extremely adorable and I absolutely loved their banters. Honestly, I loved the scenes when they were together. The gang’s dynamic was cool as well.So what didn’t I like about the book. I found the pacing extremely choppy, as in everyone’s character development was off the page and the transitioning from scene to scene was really confusing at times. I also found the politics side of things really boring and forced, especially by the end when everything was focused on politics and Ellen’s re-election I had to skim read through that. I found the plot twists or the twists in general really predictable and cliché. I would have also liked to read it through Henry’s point of view as well. Additionally, I really think 400+ pages was a little too much and felt like the plot was dragging out by the end. If you want a romantic and happy happy book read, I’ll recommend it. It was a cute, adorable and a fun read beside all the politics.
Lo amé con toda mi vida aunque no sepa nada de política, aunque lo leí con tanta prórroga, me ha gustado bastante.
I really enjoyed this, only have two reasons why it wasn't a 5 star for me:1. I couldn't always grasp when we shifted settingThis could be a me thing but sometimes I was really confused as to where we were. This how often only lasted about 30 seconds max. 2. The ending felt a little bit too happily ever after for meOf course I was happy to see the characters get the ending they deserved however it felt a little unrealistic with it being so happy. It doesn't ruin the book for me tho so not that big of a deal really.4,5*
Alright I read this. I've seen a few recommendations and this was mentioned on a few podcasts so I read it. It was so good, and lived up to the expectations. It was slow at points, but still good. The relationship between the characters makes me so happy and joyous. Pros: The pace of the book. It's not fast, but it's not too slow. The character development in this book is amazing. I fell in love with the characters so quickly and it kept up throughout the whole book. The storyline was also amazing, it was everything a romance novel needs. It also is a great LGBTQ book for those that didnt know. Cons:There were slow parts, and while they were good it took me a bit and I did end up wanting to put it down every so often. The chapters were also a little longer than I prefer, but it was worth it with this book. All in all I loved this book and reccomend it. 4 ⭐I'm currently reading Gemmas Not Sure by Gill Stewart as an ebook and it's good so far. I'm not very far in at all, but it's good. I will also be reading The Fate of Ten by Pitticus Lore. I can't wait to see how this book goes considering how the last one ended.
I enjoyed the chemistry between them along with the pure cheesiness.
My fav character is Zahra and i super want to see a tv show adaptation of thisUpdate after re-read: this is maybe a 3.75 but i still like it a lot.Also henry and alex who? I only know shaan and zahra.
4 starsNot my type of book. I enjoyed the historical background and the political discussions. The romance was so sweet that I fell in love with both Henry and Alex. I have to admit that I don't usually read romance because it feels too cheesy and I end up feeling overwhelmed, but I liked how this romance was developed. The way Alex and Henry got to know each other through social events, emails, and chats felt genuine. I enjoyed the feeling that this was something actually happening in real life. Totally worth the read and I might give romantic comedy novels another shot.
Being anxious about the find out scene I hope I can actually continue reading it.
