Red, White & Royal Blue

❤️ "That, just for a moment, I can hold my breath and be with you again, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all."

This book totally lived up to the hype. It was funny, heart warming, heart breaking and deliciously romantic. Casey McQuiston has a way with words, and the story she wrote is going to mean a lot to so many readers. There is so much pure and joyful love between Alex and Henry🥺 I'm not a hopeless romantic, but I swooned when I read the love letters😍 my favourite read of June, for sure!

Shout out to the translater by the way! Most of the time I feel like something is lost in translation, like the little jokes or powerful statements. But in this case, the translater nailed it👍🏼

Another quote I chose for this review is not from the story itself, but from the acknowledgements. It was the perfect last sentence for this book. I translated it from Dutch, so maybe it's not completely correct, but it's a strong message all the same:

✳️"Keep on fighting, keep writing history and look after one another."✳️
