I really wanted to like this, I loved the premise and the blurb. I liked the idea of a romance intertwined with topics about equality, politics, lgbtq rights and other forward thinking ideas. But the execution really put me off.

**Slight Spoilers**
The main character was the main reason for my dislike of the book. How am I supposed to like a trashy, cheating, lying, alcohol abusing woman and root for her success. I understand that the book is about progress in Texan Politics but, does the author expect me to actually believe that such a woman, after all her scandals and antics was allowed to successful run for governer of TEXAS!! It's mind boggling
