about to give the red white and roy*l blue movie a spin even though I was like the only person in my friend group who did not adore the book aha this'll be interesting
#idk the book was cute but the political implications that the author kept hinting at while not actually following up drove me NUTSSSS#like sorry if you're gonna do a royal romance that's really hard to do while being Socially Minded about it lol#like you can't have the queen make a joke about stealing a vase from india unless you follow that up with the characters like#actually doing something to make amends for colonialism!! but no they just joke about Oh Monarchy Bad and then go about their business ahah#I kept telling people that the author either needed to fully commit to a deconstruction of the political power systems#or needed to stop throwing out quirky one-liners about it before going right back to the romance haha#like either Do The Political Work (in the novel) or leave it out of the novel you know? you can't do both!#or at least. I did not think that book did both#that being said the romance was cute so I'm curious abt the movie. have heard mixed reviews.
