The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.

Happy 6 months of RWRB movie!

When Red, White, and Royal Blue came out back in 2019, I read it every day during my 90 minutes (each way!) Train commute to work, until it was finished. Every morning, I'd immerse myself in it, feeling cheated when I had to wait a few hours to read the next few chapters, and every night, I'd repeat the process. I loved it so much, in fact, that as soon as I'd completed it, I started it from the very beginning again.

I rarely do that. But when I do, it's always with books that clobber me over the head and deliver a sucker punch of emotions. Casey's incredible book and their unique style of writing were hugely impactful on my life and changed it in ways I couldn’t even have begun to imagine.

Fast forward to the movie announcement...Not gonna lie, I honestly vacillated between being so excited to a feeling of trepidation and dare I say it - deep dread... What if they ruined my new favourite book? What if the actors portraying Alex and Henry just didn’t fit for me? What if they changed it beyond all recognition and..I ended up hating it? We all know of at least one movie that started out life as a book, and was ruined beyond all repair when it hit the big screen. But then...on 11th August 2023, my Bestie @hrh-henrywales and I watched it together, and...all my doubts disappeared. It was just everything I'd been hoping for and so much more. Absolute perfection.

So thank you, Casey, for writing a book that has changed hundreds of thousands (dare I even say, millions?) of lives, and has helped so many LGBTQ+ people who previously felt marginalised and at times very lonely, to feel seen and appreciated, and celebrated for being exactly who and what they are. Thank you, Matthew, for vividly bringing to life Casey's wonderful story and, most importantly, keeping the essence of what makes Red, White, and Royal Blue so truly special and so uniquely ours.

And last, but by no means least, thank you, Taylor and Nick, for capturing our hearts and being our perfect Alex and Henry. We all love all four of you and the rest of the wonderful cast so much. Now...can we have our sequel? Pleaseee?

Music used is of course Oliver Sims' iconic Fruit - Red, White and Royal Blue version.
