Firstly if you are curious if this book is worth all the hype around it, not only is it worth it, this book surpasses it! I love everything about this book! Whether it was the characters, the politcal aspects or the friendships that are developed throughout the book, this book had my heart from page. I strongly believe that this book is going to stick with me for awhile especially when reading romance. It made me smile and laugh, cry and cheer throughout the book. The way the characters are written, you can relate to all of them, and I think that’s because they feel so real. Honestly we all know an Alex and we all know a Nora too. In this book we have Alex Claremont-Diaz a 21 year old Mexican-American who is the First Son of the United States. In the alternate timeline after President Obama a Alex’s mom, Ellen Claremont, won the election and is now up for re-election. We can dream right? Then there’s Henry, the Princes of Wales, I have such a soft spot for Henry. He always puts family and duty first suppressing so much of himself. Now these two don’t necessarily seem like they would fit together and isn’t that the perfect start for the enemies-to-lovers trope? Alex and the presidential family head to England for Henry’s older brothers wedding, and after a scuffle between Alex and Henry they are forced to undergo a fake friendship for good press. Score a million for this book because who doesn’t love a well written fake-friendship trope. And you can guess what comes next, some good old fashioned falling for each other. I honestly had such a fantastic time reading this, Alex is so funny, witty and sarcastic that I found myself cackling at time. Henry is the typical hold it all in kind of character and I loved how well they suited each other. My only negative would be there is a lot of political talk and if that isn’t your cup of tea you may not enjoy this.
