Red, White & Royal Blue

Pros:
- Cuteness: This book was so cute and I loved Alex and Henry and their antics. This book did such a good job of introducing their worlds and then interconnecting them in a way that did not seem forced. This book was decently long for a contemporary but I wanted more of Alex and Henry being adorable together.
- Research: I feel like Casey McQuiston did such a fantastic job with the research and accuracy of this book. Whether it was the US history or the British Royal Family information, I felt that this book could be true (even if it was in a parallel universe where 2016 went the way we wanted).
- Secondary Characters: I loved all the support system around Henry and Alex. I especially loved the White House Trio and their friendship. They always had each other's backs and Alex (and even Henry) knew they could count on each of them.

Cons:
- Connections: I feel like some of the connections/relationships between some of the side characters seemed forced and overly convenient and while the rest of the book seemed so real and accurate to me this aspect made the book seem less real.
