OwlCrate Editions Of Books By Casey McQuiston
RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE
Our special edition of Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston shipped in July 2025. This romance book has queer characters and features the enemies-to-lovers trope.
A rivalry between Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the President of the United States, and Henry, the Prince of Wales, turns into a whirlwind romance in this charming story about secrets, romance, and U.S/British relations.
Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage and the power to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? True love isn't always diplomatic.
