What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?
When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius--his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.
I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy--this book had everything I crave. I'm jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time! - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second. - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

[An] escapist masterpiece... It's a truly glorious thing to live inside the world of this book and to imagine it becoming reality, too. - Vogue The super specific love story you never knew you needed. - Cosmopolitan Effervescent and empowering on all levels, Red, White & Royal Blue is both a well-written love story and a celebration of identity. McQuiston may not be royal herself, but her novel reigns as must read rom-com. - NPR In between sweet and steamy love scenes, Red, White & Royal Blue allows readers to imagine a world where coming out involves no self-loathing; where fan fiction and activist Twitter do actual good; and a diverse, liberal White House wins elections.

Readers will be eager to see more from McQuiston." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Red, White & Royal Blue is funny and fun, and the family and political dynamics feel spot-on, but it's the frank and unforgettable romance between these two young men that will compel readers to start it all over again when faced with the last page.

I was so excited to read this, because it was a book in our book club, however I was deeply dissapointed. Needs editing and not a very interesting story. I feel like there was no plot and it was very shallow. I did not get attached to the characters and forced myself to finish reading it because it was a book club read. 0/10 recommend.
wish i could give more stars

As someone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I love seeing works that represent us, and because of this I felt obligated to love this book. However, I really struggled with RW&RB. I felt that the writing was unnatural and it didn't connect me with the characters. I also felt that the story was quite boring. Perhaps I am just not as much of a fan of romance novels as I once was, but there's just too much about this book I found unappealing that I decided I couldn't finish it.
10/10 in everyway!

Just awful drivel. Completely predictable, self-serving plot, with characters who are all monsters. I like a romance but this is puke-worthy.

Wow this book not only lives up to the hype, but surpasses all my high expectations. This love story had everything I want from a book from incredibly thought out main and side characters, to a great plot, and a beautiful love story. I literally read it in one sitting- it’s that good. Do yourself a favor and read this book now!

Good but repetitive
3 out of 5 stars

What does one say about a book that has thousands of reviews?! Well, first of all I LOVED Alex’s character! He was loud, outspoken, and did anything he could for the people he cared about. Henry was the complete opposite of Alex but their relationship totally worked! The size of this book (over 400 pages) is usually a no-go for me and I have to admit, it could have been easily 75 pages shorter. There was so much repetition that I ended up getting bored. The ending picked up, thankfully, and I really did enjoy this one overall!
