20 Before 20* Book 4: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Went into this expecting a cute, funny rom-com but then it punched me in the heart and almost made me cry. I LOVED this, it combined two of my passions (queer representation and progressive politics) into a little pink brick with complex and lovable characters and some laughing-so-hard-I'm-tearing-up scenes (THE TURKEY SCENE!!!!). The nods throughout to queer history also meant a lot to me, since it's so often erased, especially wh ...more

casey mcquinston has my heart forever
reread update: there’s just so much about this book. i was laughing, then i was hardcore sobbing, then smiling again. this book is pretty much my standard for a great romance novel. if i had a sixth star, this would be the book to use it on.
third reread update: henryyyyyy

Community is among the most important aspects of my life. As a Disabled queer person, knowing that I am not alone, no matter how ostracized I may feel, is incredibly valuable. With this shared identity, I know I must remember the history of those like me – and unlike me – that created and supported my community.
That’s why I love Casey McQuiston books. They always have some connection and obvious appreciation of queer history. And of course there’s the line that everyone knows (“His ...more

”Straight people, he thinks, probably don’t spend this much time convincing themselves they’re straight.”
Welcome to the review of my comfort book!!
Though I absolutely adore the characters and think the plot & adorable fucking dialogue are phenomenal, the personal relationship that I have with this book is what makes it so special to me. You see, not only was this the first predominantly queer book I ever read, it was the book that helped me finally understand & come to terms with my bisexua ...more
The best romcom AND standalone there is. I will keep saying this until my very last breath there is no one like Casey McQuiston. I laughed, I cried, I felt honest joy and heartbreak like it was my own instead of fictional characters. They're all masterpieces. Even if the movie sucks more than my life I will keep watching and reading on repeat till the day i die. This is what ultimate comfort feels like.

I really liked how we got to see Alex find himself and come to terms with his sexuality especially when he was in the spotlight as the fsotus. I also like how we got to see the fact that although they both liked eachother in the beginning they both felt bound by their responsibilities.
But even more than that I love how they were able to overcome these feelings in the end and realise that it wasn’t a barrier to their relationship but merely a speed bump in the road, and I also liked how brave th ...more

Not making this long but
The first thought I had upon reading this was...man this gives me USUK (hetalia) feels and boy was I right
This book has been a hell of ride and I’m certainly going to be rereading this some time
