I enjoyed Red, White & Royal Blue, and found it at least reasonably well written. I'm assuming it was a booktok book, though I don't actually know because I don't have Tiktok.

The only other book from the secret image that I've read is A Court Of Thorns And Roses, which I thought was pretty bad. More silly-and-boring-bad than utterly-incompetent-bad, but bad.

I've read another book by Casey McQuiston (One Last Stop) and was pleasantly surprised by it

Yeah, she seems like a competent writer to me, with a fun, breezy style. RW&RB was fluff, but it was good fluff. The characters all played well off each other (not just the two leads), the dialogue was smooth and funny, and you got the kind of breezy-smooth world-building that grounds you in the story without getting bogged down in excessive nitty-gritty realism.

McQuiston might not be up for any literary awards any time soon, but if more authors wrote snappy romantic fluff like her, I'd always have something enjoyable to read at the end of a tiring day.
