Katie and Drew are two teens who have something in common: both have a parent who are in the race for becoming President of the United States. Katie's father is running for the republican party. while Drew's mom fights for the democratic race to the White House. At firsthand, the two don't know each other, while they live in the same small town. That changes when both teens are invited at the same time to do an interview about their parents at a morning talk show. Because their parents are running for opposite parties, this feeling drums through in the feelings of Katie and Drew, but  a spark flies over between them that changes everything.

There are some troubles though, as their parents are of course not happy with them dating. The whole country is taking sides between the president nominee fight between their parents, and some scandals and pictures leak out which isn't of much help for Katie and Drew. Will it be possible for them to love the person they are supposed to hate?

I am a big fan of the If Only series so I started to read Red Girl, Blue Boy as soon as I could as the fun cover made me curious for the story inside! The story switches every chapter from Katie to Drew's point of view, and in this book this works just perfect! The characters of Katie and Drew where so much fun. They contrast each other just perfect. The drama and the romance in the story was very entertaining, it was a nice alternation and variety between the two and this kept it an interesting read. .

Red Girl. Blue Boy is the fifth book in the If Only series by Bloomsbury and I can say that it is another great addition to it. It is a fun and light read (which I happen to be a big fan of) full of nice drama and teen romance in the midst of their parents presidential nominee campaing. I enjoyed reading it and can only say, don't miss out on this one!
