Casey’s Kindle Notes & Highlights

Red, White & Royal Blue, by Casey McQuiston

for the weirdos & the dreamers

When I wrote this book—this niche, political, queer, new adult romantic comedy—I said that if it could find its people, it would do all right. It turns out book’s “people” is a much broader category than I thought it would be. I’ve heard from media folks, political junkies, romcom fans, and first-time romance readers, all types of people who found something to love here. I think that’s because it’s evident on the page how much I love each of these characters, how much I tried to infuse hope and joy into them and their stories. I’m beyond thankful for the recognition from the Goodreads Choice Awards, and for this chance to tell you readers a little bit more about what’s behind the words.
