Red White & Royal Blue, by Casey McQuiston

It is 2020 and Ellen Claremont has begun the campaign to win her second term as the first woman US president. In his final year of college, her son, Alex Claremont-Diaz, is a charming and ambitious potential asset to the campaign. So what will happen to both their aspirations when Alex falls in love with Prince Henry, younger son of the heir to the British throne? A Royal romance with a difference, this is a clever, tender and funny exploration of a relationship developing in despite of the public eye. Queen Mary is on the throne and her heir is Princess Catherine of Wales, mother of Prince Philip, Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry. Some of the details are a little far-fetched, but it is ultimately a modern fairy tale and what could be a better alternative reality than one where Trump was never elected?
