Synopsis

Alex Claremont-Diaz is the son of the first female president of the United States. He is a heart-throb to everyone all over the world. When he goes to the royal wedding and ends up toppling over a $75,000 cake with Prince Henry of Wales, you know there has to be damage control done to save both of their images. This involves them becoming best friends with each other rather than enemies. This book is how the best friends facade turns into A LOT more and how they handle telling everyone despite being two of the most well known men in the world

Review

I really wanted to love this book after seeing so much buzz about it. I hate to say it but honestly, I didn’t love it.

There was a lot of hilariously relevant quotes which were great for a current reader to understand but if someone were to read this book 5 years from now, I don’t think they would understand some of the jokes.

I loved watching Alex’s and Henry’s relationship unfold – event through the difficult times. They were adorable and I loved the dynamic of their friend group.

What I didn’t enjoy was the politics – I think it had the potential to be interesting but instead I found most of it to be dry. I felt like those parts really made the book drag for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
