Prime Video’s adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue is almost here, and we can’t wait. To tide you over until August 11, here are six books perfect for fans of Alex and Henry. Read on!

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

Luc O’Donnell is reluctantly famous, thanks to his rock star parents. He must also clean up his image after a compromising photo surfaces in the middle of his dad’s big comeback. What he needs is a nice, normal relationship with someone like Oliver Blackwood: a barrister, a vegetarian and a rule follower. Both in need of a date for a big event, they agree to be fake boyfriends for a while. However, as they navigate their relationship, the lines between real and fake blur, and they unexpectedly fall for each other.

Vulnerable and honest while still hilarious, Boyfriend Material is perfect for Red, White & Royal Blue fans. While it’s not an enemies-to-lovers story, there’s still fake dating/friendship in the public eye and an opposites-attract relationship that’s super satisfying.

Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins

The cover of Her Royal Highness is in all pastel blue and white. It features a girl on the cover wearing a collared shirt and sunglasses reflecting another girl.

Heartbroken after a friend’s betrayal, Mille Quint needs to get as far away from Houston as possible. When she is accepted into a prestigious school in Scotland, she’s surprised to find her roommate, Flora, isn’t just stuffy but an actual princess. At first the two can barely stand each other, but soon that changes. The lines blur between friendship and something more, and Millie realizes that happily-ever-after may be possible after all.

This YA romance is so stinking cute! I love a boarding school setting, and Her Royal Highness does it well alongside a sweet romance and royal shenanigans. There’s another book in Rachel Hawkins’ series as well, so check out Royalty if you’re looking for more.

Her Royal Happiness by Lola Keeley

When Princess Alice, the first out member of the British royal family, meets an opinionated single mother, their encounter goes viral. The anti-monarchy Sara has no trouble sharing her opinions, but despite their initial differences, they connect when Sara helps diagnose Alice’s nephew’s learning difficulties. When the press starts sniffing around, they claim they’re dating to protect her nephew’s privacy. As their fake relationship evolves into something real, they must navigate the challenges of being in a public relationship while keeping Sara’s daughter safe and facing the Queen’s disapproval.

Another “opposites attract” royal romance, Her Royal Happiness adds a commoner to the story. Lola Keeley balances a light and fluffy story with bigger issues of race, class, sexuality and disability in a way Red, White & Royal Blue fans will appreciate.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

The cover of One Last Stop is on a subway "Q" line. A girl in a black dress with red hair looks at a woman on the subway with short dark hair and a leather jacket.

August, a cynical 23-year-old, moved to New York City believing that magic and love stories don’t exist. Her perspective shifts, however, when she meets Jane, a dazzling, charming and mysterious girl who seems like she came out of the 1970s. As August’s subway crush grows into something more, she must embrace the possibility of something extraordinary or risk losing Jane forever.

There’s no royalty or matters of state in One Last Stop, but it is Casey McQuiston’s follow-up to her debut bestseller. It’s just as charming as Red, White & Royal Blue, and readers are sure to fall in love with August and Jane just as much as they did with Alex and Henry.

Witchmark by C.L. Polk

Miles Singer went to war to escape his destiny, but he returned a changed man. Even after faking his death and reinventing himself as a doctor, he can’t outrun his past – or his family. But when a mortally injured patient exposes Miles’ healing gift, he risks his freedom to investigate the murder. To find the truth, he must team up with a stranger and maybe even his family or risk the collapse of his entire country.

It may seem like I recommend Witchmark often, but it’s just that good of a book. Miles and Tristan are from two completely different worlds, and their romance shouldn’t work, but it definitely does. C.L. Polk’s book is sweet and a little tropey but doesn’t lack depth in the slightest.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

The cover of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe has a red pickup truck in a green field. There are four award stickers on the right side.

Dante and Ari couldn’t be more different – Dante is a confident and expressive artist, while Ari struggles with self-doubt and thoughts of his incarcerated brother. Despite their differences, they form a profound bond that helps them discover essential truths about themselves and shape their identities and futures.

Benjamin Alire Sáenz dedicated this book “to all the boys who’ve had to learn to play by different rules.” Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe has won so many awards that you can barely see the cover underneath all the stickers. Check this one out if you’re looking for a sweet, slow-burn romance, then head to the bookstore and buy the sequel.

Each of these books is available for purchase from your local independent bookstore or Bookshop.org. Check them out while you wait for August 11, and let us know your favorite Red, White & Royal Blue read-alikes below.
