The first book recommendations podcast is on the novel Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. This novel by Casey McQuiston was released in the year 2019, I read it in 2020, and I am reviewing it, in the year 2021.

The experience of reading this novel was so wholesome, that I developed an interest for the royal family, and it was after this novel, that I made myself watch, the whole Crown series, all the seasons, all of it, and also that series is to be reviewed in a different blog though, but what Henry in this novel was, it was so beautiful.

The novel centres around the character of Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the United States, and his relationship with Prince Henry, a British prince. It is a totally fictional novel, on when the America, gets its first woman President. The white house trio-Alex, Nora and June, are in the main characters.

The book is basically a love story between Alex-the most handsome bachelor of the America, the youngest of the white house trio, and Henry the Royal Prince of the British Empire.

It is a different novel, as you will see the tragedy, in their love story, as they both are in the most important positions in their respective countries, but would people accept their relationship ?

The public image and the choice between their careers and their love life make it an interesting novel to read.

Did you know, McQuiston first came up with the idea for what become Red, White and Royal Blue during the 2016 American Presidential elections. While watching a season of the HBO comedy series Veep and reading both a Hillary Clinton biography by Carl Bernstein, A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, they found themselves intrigued by the extravagant, high-profile lifestyle of the royals and wanted to write their own take on a story featuring a royal family.

So here was, the Red White and Royal blue came and became what it is today, a phenomenal novel by Casey McQuiston.
