Kindle edition
I read about this book in Real Simple Magazine, I think. It's been on my "to read" list for at least a year. I finally requested it from the library via OverDrive - shout out to eBooks and Kindle! I started it on June 15 and finished on June 21.
Though I read the description when I first put this on my "to read" list, I didn't entirely remember what it was about when I started reading it. Let me tell you - this book is really fresh, funny, and I really loved it.
It's a love story, coming out story, and political book all in one. This book tells the story of the first family of the United States. The president is female (YAHOO!) and divorced and has two adult-ish kids - Alex and June. Alex's arch nemesis is one of the Princes of England, Henry. Through a turn of events, these two men who hate each other have to become besties to quell a potential PR nightmare of their causing. Their fake friendship evolves into a real friendship and an entirely new actual PR nightmare to deal with.
One of the several things that made me laugh out loud while reading this book is the "nickname" Alex gave Henry in his phone - HRH Royal Dickhead 💩. I was laughing so much at that.
If you like a love story, have an open mind, I think you'll love this book. It's fresh, it's modern, it's funny, it's sad, it's engaging, and I definitely stayed up too late at night reading this. I just couldn't put it down. Now I'm left with the "what's next" desire for a sequel.
