![]() ![]() It’s all about being who you truly are and finding your people who will be there to support you no matter what. This book is educational in that it shows that there is no one "right" way to be. The way that characters are portrayed - their different genders, sexualities, and personalities - is so beautifully and seamlessly done that I honestly feel like I know these characters and I wish I could be friends with them in real life. All the characters in this book are so much fun to read about, in a large part because they are giving us the opportunity to see characters and people we don’t normally see in mainstream love stories. And a big part of that was with the help of her roommates - Myla, Niko and Wes - who help August come out of her shell, with both them and with the reader. While August took me a second to warm up to, I promptly fell in love with her by chapter two. I absolutely adore the characters that McQuiston created in this book. I’m thrilled that I was given an advance copy because I don’t know if I could’ve waited any longer to read this book! Happily, I loved it as much as I loved her debut novel. So of course I was thrilled to find out that Casey McQuiston was coming out with a new novel, and I liked that this book is completely different in that there’s a fantastical element to the love story. I talk about it all the time, I often wish I could recommend it to my students (but I can't because I teach high school and it's just a touch to sexual for that age group), and it’s a book that I’ve reread countless times since I first received it. ![]() Red, White & Royal Blue (review here) is hands-down one of my favourite books. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for sending me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
