3.57 AVERAGE


I loved this book. It was my first political read ever but I found it easy to get through and very suspenseful. I loved the writing and the plot was easy to follow and very detailed. I will definitely be picking up more of this authors work.

Read my full thoughts over at Read.Write.Repeat.

This valiant attempt at letting a primarily female administration shine instead comes across muddled and emotionally confused.

I didn't realize this is the third book in a series, just saw it was about a female President and jumped on it. I wanted to love this but I was severely disappointed and a bit bored. This wasn't the female power with interesting political plot as I wanted. After reading Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeild I've been craving a good political novel with female front, but I have had difficult time finding one. I really thought this would be the one but nope. Maybe I had to high expectations

Not my usual type of read, but I really enjoyed it

This book was not as good as the last two. I found myself wishing either some kind of big bombshell would happen or it would just end. I am glad I read all the way through but it was just a little too hard to chew at the end.

4.5 Stars!

I am so surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I've had this book on my shelf since I first started booktube, about 3 years ago. Being a political junkie and really liking the ins and outs of washington, this was something that hit all the right buttons. It was essentially the West Wing tv show in book format.
This book follows the first woman president on what seems like will be a normal day at the office, but then a tragic terrorist attack happens that shakes everything off-course. It follows several people in the senior administration before, during and after these events. There was so much going on throughout the entire book and it was very action packed. I was never bored reading it or wanted to get through a portion of it faster.
