A very happy Saturday to you, Shameless book clubbers!

This month, we’re talking all about Casey McQuiston’s debut, multiple award-winning novel, ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’. McQuiston’s book centres on Alex Claremont Diaz, the son of the first Female President of the United States. The story follows Alex and his love-hate relationship with a British Prince called Henry, and how their love affair threatens to derail American and British relations.

Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle discuss the book’s slow start, its youthful writing style, the characters we just couldn’t picture, and that veeerrry predictable ending.
