Her favorite quote:
“When Alex was little, before anyone knew his name, he thought love would one day come into his life on the wings of a dragon, like in a fairy tale. But, as he had learned growing up, love is a choice you make despite everything, a strange thing that can sometimes slip through your fingers even when you hold on to it like the apple of your eye. . He would never have imagined that he was right either way: that it could be both at the same time. "
Why this book?
Because
My Dear F *** ing Prince
is a Young Adult LGBT romance
that takes its reader on a journey from America to the UK. We meet Alex and Henry, respectfully son of the President of the United States and grandson of the Queen of England. These two, despite their differences, are often compared to each other and evolve in similar settings: constantly in the spotlight and rarely free to indulge in who they really are in order to protect the image of. their families.
Because Alex, our hero, sex symbol regularly on the front page
of the tabloids, does not support the little darling of the English royal family. While he has been chomping at the bit for years, the president's son breaks down during a princely marriage and his altercation with Henry is made public. In order to avoid any diplomatic accident and bad image of United States / England relations with the press, the families of the heroes decide to force the young men to display a united front and to feign great friendship.
Because the relationship between Alex and Henri, if it starts off terribly badly,
evolves as this romance is as funny as it is sexy. If the relationship between the two men is at the heart of the story, the novel is far from dealing only with light subjects. Between political manipulations, intolerance of the monarchy, questions about sexual identity or reflections on racism and homophobia, My Dream F *** ing Prince is a novel as adorable as it is relevant and as hopelessly romantic as it is sadly realistic.
Because between charismatic characters, trendy romance,
references to pop culture and political manipulations, My Dear F *** ing Prince could well be the perfect Young Adult romance of this fall.
Indeed, under its light airs hide deep reflections and a superbly well-brought psychological evolution of the characters.
A novel that makes you want to (re) fall in love and which teaches readers a lot about the workings and manipulations of our leaders.
