This book started off with some strong Veronica Mars vibes, which is a plus in my book and I was intrigued by the premise - can the fixer fix everything?

At first I was definitely going to give this book three stars because I love Jen's writing so much but this one just didn't do it for me, BUT THEN: it got really good. And it was just as good as any other JLB book and *squeal* I love it. I was really a huge fan of the familial plot twist omg never saw that coming. I'm glad it seemed like there would be a sequel. BRING ME MORE JLB!!!!

This is the fourth series from Jennifer Lynn Barnes I’ve read and I really enjoy her writing and storytelling. I also read a decent amount of YA and do not understand the disdain that some readers have towards it. All that being said, the fact that this was YA made the story completely unrealistic in a way I just could not excuse. Whyyyyyy is the First Lady spending so much time talking to a 17 year old high school student?!?!?! There’s also some inaccuracies regarding our government and political structures that are GLARING. To be fair, being a US citizen in this day and age has forced me to become way more politically aware than I care to be, but the author could have googled a few things. Entertaining read to be sure, but the complete unrealistic plot took me out of it and will stop me from reading the sequel.
