First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?

Of all the books I've gone through this year, this was probably the one book I enjoyed the most, and that surprises me considering it wasn't my usual genre.
I'm glad that that drama didn't get dragged out for a long time. 😁
I know nothing about how presidential elections go, and I'm not going to pretend that the portrayal of it here is or isn't accurate, but I am gonna say that I don't mind it. Do elections work like that? Idk, it's not my job, but it's interesting to read. I've already decided I'll be getting a physical copy of this for my shelf, unless the ending is just somehow botched (imo) and I can't look at it anymore. Loving it so far ♥️
