Meine Lieblingszitate aus Red, White & Royal Blue

Im Buch geht es um den Sohn der amerikanischen Präsidentin und den britischen Thornfolger, die sich ineinander verlieben. Obwohl sich die beiden zu Beginn so gar nicht leiden können und eigentlich nur des freundschaftlichen Verhältnisses ihrer beider Länder willen so tun, als wären sie ein Herz und eine Seele. Doch mit der Zeit, verändert sich ihre Beziehung – doch kann das gut gehen?

Ich hab das süße Buch, das auch wirklich viele wichtige Themen, wie Erwachsenwerden, Politik, die Rolle von Königsfamilien in der modernen Zeit, Coming-out, Freundschaft und so vieles mehr behandelt, sehr gerne gelesen und daher hier eine Sammlung meiner liebsten Zitate (Aber Achtung! Der Alex flucht im Buch um einiges mehr, als im Film.) erstellt.

Beside him, he hears Henry mutter slowly, „Oh my fucking Christ.“ He registers dimly that it’s the first time he’s ever heard the prince swear, before the flash from someone’s camera goes off.

Both sides need to come out of this looking good, and the only way to do that is to make it look like your little slap-fight at the wedding was some homo-erotic frat bro mishap, okay?

He knows he talks too much, hopeless at moderating his feelings, which he usually hides under ten layers of charm, but he ultimately doesn’t care what Henry thnks of him, so he doesn’t bother. Instead, he’s as weird and manic as he wants to be,and Henry jabs back in sharp flashes of startling wit.

One does not foster a lifelong love of Star Wars without knowing an „empire“ istn’t a good thing.

Henry’s whole face grimaces in frustration, his eyes casting skywards like they’re searching for help from an uncaring universe. „Christ, you are as thick as it gets.“ He says, and he grabs Alex‘ face in both hands and kisses him.

He’s absolutely sure that guys who kissed a Prince of England and liked it don’t get elected to represent Texas.

He kisses back, but lets himself be kissed however Henry wants to kiss him, which right now is exactly how he would have expected Prince charming to kiss in the first place: sweet and deep and like they’re standing at sunrise in the fucking moors. He can practically feel the wind in his hair. It’s ridiculous.

History, huh? Bet we could make some.

Casey McQuiston (2019): 241

Should I tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in my dreams?

„Listen,“ he says, pulling a curles fist out of his pocket. He takesone of Alex‘ hands and turns it to press something small and heavy into his palm. „I want you to know, I’m sure. A thousand percent.“

Casey McQuiston (2019): 291

We’re just gonna fucking fight. Because you’re it, okay? I’m never gonna love anybody in the world like I love you. so, I promise you, one day we’ll be able to just be, and fuck everyone else.
