Finished this book yesterday… and today, I couldn‘t remember finishing it. Am I stressed?! After working 12 hours today and my hub out of town, needing to walk the dog in the dark, we came upon a neighbor who has lit their house in Red White and Blue. 🇺🇸

Silly me, trying to read only romance to hide from election stress and I pick this! Not sure if 5⭐️ or if I am feeling generous- it did make me laugh.

As the last person on earth to read this book, I am happy to verify what I've been hearing for the past five years: This romance is 100% delightful in every way. Is it unrealistic? Yep. Don't care. Is it too long? Probably. But I would read a whole series with these guys, so the 421 page count is just fine with me.

Like it a lot, but not as much as I thought I would. Yes, I was ruined by the movie 😅 But I loved reading about the changes made, and enjoyed all the extras to it. And of course it's a lovely book with an important message. Still hoping for a female US president 🤞

BkClubCare I have this book ready to go soon! I haven‘t seen the movie so I have zero expectations. 1mo

Awww! This was exactly the adorableness I needed this weekend! Especially now, it was cool reading about an alternate timeline in which a female Democrat, the main character‘s mom, won the presidency in 2016. I loved how his relationship with Prince Henry blossomed and the ways they unlocked each other‘s best selves. Just all the warm fuzzies for this one!

An adorable, funny, just the right amount of angst romance that I‘m not sure why I waited so long to read. There are just enough cute and silly moments that balanced out the heartfelt and serious ones perfectly. The characters were flawed, well-rounded, and real. I loved every everything about this book.

The love story in this one is very sweet and often funny, and the dialogue sparkles throughout the book. But I think what really pulls me in with this one is the fantasy of what America and American politics could be. It reminded me a little bit of the movie The American President in that way, where we ultimately have a story in which the better angels of our nation actually win. And isn‘t that what we would all truly love to see for a change?

I read this book as part of the Goodreads 2024 challange. It was the perfect book to read for Pride Month. These gentlemen faced an almost impossible situation. I grew to like them both as I read their story. I‘m generally not into the romance genre, but I‘m glad I read this book.

Decided on the above to be my requisite swap/donation gifts for tomorrows IRL book club here in NYC. 🗽

The tagged fits because 1) June is #Pride Month, 2) it was a romance I thought was done quite well (never saw the film version, though).

Felt all the feels when I finally got my hands on the Collector's Edition of RWRB, and currently happy & unfettered amongst all the warm & fuzzy feels of finishing the extra chapter told from Henry's dreamy POV. Peering into the domestic life of my all-time favourite book couple was joyous, and the ending delightful, yet again. I absolutely loved experiencing the story, however short, through Henry's lyrical, sometimes melancholic prose 🩷👑.

bookandbedandtea I LOVED getting Henry's POV. He's such a sweetheart. 8mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @bookandbedandtea He's so sweet ❤️. I'm kinda hoping for a sequel from his POV now. I need more! As much as I love Alex, Henry has always been my favourite! 8mo
bookandbedandtea A sequel would be wonderful! I'd love to see their lives 10 years down the line. 😊 8mo

TheIntrovertedDodoBird @bookandbedandtea Right?! And then they can adapt it into a second movie 🩷👑. Henry and Alex married in Austin with children, maybe... that would be so wonderful! 10 years down the line would be perfect 👑🩷. 8mo
bookandbedandtea I'd read that in a heartbeat! It doesn't look like McQuiston is going to go that for route though. 😕 I am looking forward to the book coming later this year. 8mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @bookandbedandtea Me too! I'd preorder it right now 🩷👑. No. I haven't gotten that impression from them 😕. I'm still hoping for a second movie. I saw that both of the actors would be interested in making a sequel! Omg! I'm so EXCITED for The Pairing. I literally cannot wait until September?! (I think). I love Casey McQuiston so much! 8mo

Sort of obsessed that RWRB was my first introduction to the notorious George Villiers, and now Nicholas Galitzine (AKA Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor) is playing him in Mary and George! What an incredible series! I delved into the Jacobean era after reading RWRB for the first time, and love this series even more because of it.

I had the pleasure of reading 42 books in 2023, but these three became my absolute favourites! Red, White & Royal Blue stole first place due to the fact that both the book and the film have brought a little light to quite a few dark days ❤️🤍💙. Closely followed, of course, by the twisty labyrinth that is Killing Jericho and the absolute gem, They Both Die at The End! Reading goal met. Now bring on 2024 and the legions of books to come! 🎉

Red, White & Royal Blue is the gayest, most uproarious, banter-filled, big fat ray of sunshine that totally warranted a re-read mere weeks after languishing away from the worst book hangover EVER. If I could cannonball my way into these pages - into this slightly kinder, empathetic, unapologetically liberal alternate reality - I would do so without hesitation, especially with my favourite ensemble of characters to date. Queue book hangover 2.0! 🩷

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I recommend Alexis Hall if you need to get over your book hangover.. Boyfriend Material had good banter too ❤️ 12mo
willaful Right there with you! Another I recommend is The Charm Offensive. They're both in the “big queer party“ subgenre. 😁 12mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Ooh, I've had my eye on Hall's Boyfriend Material (and the sequel Husband Material, obviously) for ages! Just why do the Kindle editions have to be so damn pricey?! 😭 I Googled books to read after RWRB, and these came up, and now I'm chaotically waiting for them to lower in price. The wait is agonizing! I need to cure this book hangover with more epic banter! Thank you for the recommendation ❤️🤍💙. 12mo

I found the ending of this really moving, but parts of this felt very odd to me like fetishisation of the monarchy at the same time as hot royal characters listing the monarchy‘s historical atrocities just made me feel like the author found royals hot but wanted to detail all the asterisks of why they weren‘t allowed to find them hot…? The plot arrived really suddenly right at the end and a lot of the British bits rung kind of oddly
