Red, White & Royal Blue

This was an entertaining and quick read, but I did not enjoy it as much as everyone seems to enjoy and I honestly do not get the hype.

What I liked about the story:
- I liked the romance and how their relationship evolved through the call, texts, emails and secret encounters.
- The book has good supporting characters and friendship representation.
- The author was able to capture characters age accurately.

What I think it could have been done better:
- I hated Alex. He was self-absorbed, narcissistic, mean and sometimes a bit ignorant.
- The story is too focused on America. This could have been balanced by including both POV instead of a third person narrative on Alex side.
- British characters seem to be constructed based on stereotypes.
- America election campaigns seem to be about almost everything except politics, and this book represented that perfectly. Unfortunately, I don't particularly like to read about it as the real campaigns are, sometimes, already more than I can handle.

Overall, this is a nice summer read and I recommend it for YA and NA readers.
