What makes a story interesting and realistic is its conflict, of which there is almost none in the novel. My opinion about this novel is controversial, as many people have declared their love for this story over social media, receiving a 95% positive rating among Google users. Its plot is predictable and lacking any lasting conflict, every situation always ends up turning out perfectly fine and its characters are stereotypical and uninteresting. Though this novel has its positives, such as a woman president and gay and POC representation, it is brimming with negatives. “Red, White and Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston, published in 2019, is a young adult romance novel that tells of the relationship that develops between the son of the President of the United States Alex Claremont-Diaz and a fictional Prince Henry of Great Britain. However, in my goal to read more LGBTQIA+ literature, I read a novel that was, in my opinion, simply not worth reading for the objective of expanding one’s knowledge of LGBTQIA+ experiences. Most of that literature is valuable and teaches me about the experiences of people who are different from me.

I am a straight, cis woman, and I aim to learn about different life experiences through the literature I consume.
