Description
When Dean Arnault’s mother decided to run for president, it wasn’t a surprise to anyone, least of all her son. But still that doesn’t mean Dean wants to be part of the public spectacle that is the race for the White House—at least not until he meets Dre.
The only problem is that Dre Rosario's on the opposition; he’s the son of the Democratic nominee. But as Dean and Dre’s meet-ups on the campaign trail become less left to chance, their friendship quickly becomes a romantic connection unlike any either of the boys have ever known.
If it wasn’t hard enough falling in love across the aisle, the political scheming of a shady third-party candidate could cause Dean and Dre’s world to explode around them.
It’s a new modern-day, star-crossed romance about what it really means to love your country—and yourself—from the acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and Brave Face, Shaun David Hutchinson.

I liked it and at the same time I didn't? It tackled many important topics, like school shootings and toxic masculinity. At the same time, I was annoyed that important political opinions were put aside, just so the relationship between the MCs could develop, even though they sometimes didn’t agree on fundamental things. The ending was ridiculous and stupid imho. And since I’m not demisexual it’s hard for me to judge, but it did feel like the representation wasn’t that well done?
I am not really sure about this one. Overall i liked the story, because it was sweet and funny and really easy to read. Two boys, one the son of a republican, and the other one of a democrat, with both there parants running for president. In my head that soundet really great, but actually reading it, there where a few things that bothered me. In my opinion the story moves on way to fast. Suddenly the two main characters are friends and tell each others there deapest secrets despite there families being oponents. But i got over that and the middle part of the book i really liked. But than came the ending and it was just not good. The worst part about it is that we don´t even get to know who becomes president, because i guess the author just dind´t want to commit. I was expecting something diffrent from this one and while it was not terrible in my opinion, it was also not really great.
