This was a recommendation from my mother-in-law, and I'll admit I was skeptical. I'm not a romance fan, I'm not into rom-coms at all, and it's the rare book where I'm not bored by any politics involved. So I was gobsmacked by how much I loved this book.
 
It's just absolutely adorable. In this fictional world, the next president after Barack Obama is Ellen Claremont, a Texas Democrat, and Prince Henry is the grandson of the current British queen, Queen Mary. I think I tolerated the politics in this book because it's either a distraction so Alex doesn't have to think about feelings or an impediment to him and Henry being together as opposed to actually being a big part of the plot.
 
The main plot is an enemies-to-lovers romance, except it isn't really enemies-to-lovers because the only thing Alex really hated about Henry was that he wasn't kissing him right that instant, even though he didn't know it yet. I can see how someone might find Alex's complete inability to figure out that he's into Henry unrealistic, but as a Known Bisexual who took nearly a decade to realize thinking about scissoring with same-sex friends were not in fact Straight Thoughts, I found it incredibly realistic and absolutely hilarious. My Kindle copy of this book has no less than 10 notes to the effect of, "Alex, you are so obviously not straight."
 
This is just a feel-good read all the way around. The stakes are higher than what I assume an average rom-com would have just because Alex and Henry both have such high profiles, but it has a happy ending and it's cute and fluffy and full of mutual pining and nothing too dark. The main antagonist is politics for the most part - the pressure to keep up appearances so Alex doesn't screw up his mom's reelection campaign and Henry doesn't "hurt the British royal image." But they're so in love (and so horny, there are a bunch of sex scenes and I actually enjoyed them) that they're determined to make it work even if they have to give up everything in the process.
 
I did not expect to like this much at all, let alone like it as much as I did. It's adorable and sweet and cute and overall a really good story. (Plus the author is nonbinary, and I love seeing other nonbinary people succeed!) I absolutely see why my mother-in-law liked it so much, and I absolutely agree.
