It's 7:43 AM. I haven't slept and I can't stop reading this thing, but I'm annoyed at it. Henry is boring, but I like him more than Alex. Alex is...something, I don't know what but he runs me slightly the wrong way. Give me more Henry. Still want less politics and more actual relationshipping not just sexing. At least I get some of the references that creep into my YR fanfiction. 😭

Okay. Every time I'm vibing with it the politics come in and turn me off, and like, these characters hold the same beliefs as I do at least on the surface. I get the distinct vibe that this book was manufactured and written to make a movie. Totally a 3 star affair.

They just had full on sex and there was no preparation. The only things they did with their fingers were hold hands. *sigh.*

Okay, I just...I don't like Alex's mom. Sorry madame president but you're just too rough around the edges for me and I really want less of you and the sappy politics and some actual sappy romance. Please?? When?? If I don't get cute boys romancing like, now, this is gonna end up a 3 star for sure.

Let's see if I vibe with this. All my Young Royals girlies recommend it (Cute curly haired Latino guys and their blond princes y'know) but I've read some cons too, mostly about the politics. So far far it's an easy read. :)
