This was an interesting reimagining of history. What kept me reading was my curiosity about where the author was going to take Hillary's story. It will probably appeal more to fans of Hillary but was well written and entertaining so anyone interested in alternate history or political stories should enjoy it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital advanced review copy of this book.

I appreciate the author taking on a challenging creative narrative but she made Hilary seem like a robot and too simple. It just never got off the ground for me.

I wanted to like this but... I just couldn't. I struggle with lightly fictionalized versions of real events, and this went much much further.

I really really loved this. I also might be precisely the target audience. Everything about this was written for me! :) Couldn’t put it down.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!
