My biggest complaint about red white and blue is the cover ToT
(Don't take me too seriously dhdhf)
#red white and royal blue#lb#by this i mean: the novel? AMAZING. excellent superb. i am enjoying it phenomenally#the cover however reminds me more of the 200 page or less romance comedies that are very lighthearted with very little#depth of stress. which is fine. thats also a good kind of book.#but rwrb has like... alex being the biggest bitch in it. a workaholic out of touch emotionally (but very Emotionally acting) man#prince henry and the Actual Horrificly Fucked reality of life in the spotlight. political Weight and stress of calling out poljticial issues#By Name and risking alienating the reader audience by REQUIRING them to learn to sympathize with alex who may be unlike them#and who Feels unlike those in power and who Feels half his heritage hes being estranged from with his moms situation#and then Also asking you the reader to empathize with henry in a way you have provably never had to do in real life with Anyone like him#because in real life we simply never meet someone in henrys situation#its not the polish of prince charming. its the heartwrenching pain and fear and tragedy of Being#The Symbolic Prince Charming. it is a much HEAVIER novel than its cover implies#and i like the cover and think the Pop Bright Cover made romcom readers give it a chance and likely#expanded the readership and got readers to try a novel the would not otherwise have given a chance. so marketing wise its Excellent.#but i feel like... the core Reader who would go out specifically looking for a novel Like rwrb would#see this cover and assumr the story isnt as heavy as they were looking for.#likewise i saw caseys other book cover and i hate it lol ToT i would actively avoid reading it#but becausr its Casey writing? i bet it IS as heavy and complex emotionally and Specific as i want a novel to be#its just the cover of bright pop orange and pink was not designed for Me. it was designed to appeal to a broad audience
