Some others have criticized Shaun David Hutchinson’s portrayal of Dre and his father as too Americanized for a Mexican family. I also enjoyed the twist on a female nominee on the Republican side.
But if you ask me, it’s not really a story asking us to support a blind Republican but support a respectful son, who wants the best result possible for his own mother. There are some out in the world who may have issues with this book, one being the fact we’re asked to sympathize with the son of a presidential candidate who has some views he doesn’t entirely believe in but is hoping she wins nonetheless, even though she has a blithe anti-gay, anti-trans agenda. Not even love, probably, but just, understood friends. Dre’s gay and the world already knows it, and Dean ends up saying he’s still figuring himself out, eventually saying that he thinks he identifies as demisexual (attracted to someone you have real love or respect for, gender not really relevant, although most of his attractions have coincidentally (or not) been men), and the two of them begin a secret forbidden life. Dre and Dean talk about how different (and delicately the same) their lives have been since both their parents ended up winning the nominations, and the topic of sexuality comes up. Both the other nominees have sons, Andre (Rosario) and Dean (Arnault).ĭuring the first debate, an emergency forces Andre (actually, Dre) and Dean into the same room while it’s sorted out, and they try to just avoid polite conversation, but maybe the uncertainty of if your parents are alive will force you to loosen up. An independent named Jackson McMann is also running and seems more excited of the idea of stoking enough enthusiasm to win the name of commander-in-chief than actually taking charge of the country, and soon he has enough support that he gets a spot at the podiums, but more on that. I’ve heard the story is vastly similar to Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (a critically acclaimed book I ashamedly have yet to read.) In this alternate universe, year unknown but a time when Captain Marvel toys are on the shelves, it’s a time some have seen a few of and many have endured the primaries for the next commander-in-chief, and the incumbent must’ve served his (or her the Obamas have different names) eight years, and it’s Tomas Rosario on the left and Janice Arnault on the right. I like politics, gay love stories and interracial love stories and this had all three with a twist making it all more extreme the son of the Republican nominee for President of the United States and the son of the Democratic nominee are the love birds.
When I stumbled onto an excerpt of this book in January, I could not wait for it.
