Red, White & Royal Blue

This book. WOW. When I first began reading this one I was like “okay okay. it's cute and all, but I still don't get the hype”.... but then I got to approx. page 40 and was HOOKED. Each character in this story is SO unique and nuanced. The dialogue was freaky real. Like yes, it's kind of cheesy but McQuiston did an amazing job actually of capturing how people speak nowadays. The plot itself falls somewhere between YA/Fanfic/everything I never knew I wanted to read in a gay love story. It's cute, romantic, and steamy too! The cast is diverse in race and experience, showing that cultural boundaries can really effect what it means to come out! I definitely recommend anyone, queer or ally to read this one!
