Casey McQuiston

Amazon Prime got me again. I’ve found so many good books that they’ve based their shows off of! This movie has quickly became one of my favorites and I just had to read the book! It’s not common that I’ll buy a book and read it before all the others on my to read list, but this one I did!

Red, White, & Royal Blue is a romantic comedy by Casey McQuiston in where the First Son of the US gets into a tiff with the youngest Prince of Britain and they’re forced to fake a friendship for PR reasons. In the end they fall in love and are forced to make difficult decisions that’ll impact both their families, futures, and countries.

This was a fast moving storyline and highly entertaining. It was a creative storyline and hooked from the beginning. The characters are all likeable and the politics were kept to a minimum which I appreciated. The ending was good and this was a positive representation for the LGBTQ community. The humor was just the right amount and not over done like it is in some comedic novels.

There were quite a few differences between the movie and the book, including the villain of the storyline. I’m not sure what the decision was in changing who the bad guy was in the conflict, but it still flowed well in the movie and did not minimize the relationship of the main characters.

★★★★★ I pray for a sequel! I definitely recommend buying the collector’s edition if you are going to read it. It has a final chapter that is set 5 years later from the ending of the original storyline and wraps their story up nicely.… (more)

So far one thing that I didn't like in one of the chapters on of the earlier ones I forgot which one it was in but anyway I didn't like where a little ducking got picked up by a crow and that didn't sit well with me at all. Why is the father of this girl an asshole and some parents want to have their kids close to home or not pushing them out of the house till they are ready to be on their own till at least kids figure out and have enough money to be on their own and apartment to live in. And it shouldn't be up to the parents to make up their children's minds on how they would live their lives and I didn't like this book or this story from beginning to the ending and also didn't like the part where animals were being used once about and this time they had to be locked in caged for some stupid party. Also I have found that Cassie was pretty annoying where if she was so worried about her period being late she should got checked out or took a pregnancy test and it was a good thing I didn't waste my money on being this one.… (more)
