by Casey McQuiston WOW. I wish fictional President Claremont was the real president of the US! What an amazing and loving family portrayal. This story grabbed ahold of me from the beginning and I was rooting for Alex and the delectable Henry the whole time! I loved how the characters resembled actual real-life people and how the author created a timeframe where I wanted to be. I wanted to be front and centre, placing my vote for a second term of the Claremont administration. The text and email narrative used felt genuine, which is often difficult in writing to create. This was a beautiful, funny and emotional modern day Romeo and Juliette, that has the HEA that we all need nowadays. This was fun and current read. I’d heartily recommend this book! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #RedWhiteandRoyalBlue #CaseyMcQuiston #pinkcowlandreads
