This book was nothing like what I thought it would be. Based on the cover, the title, and the blurb, I thought this would be a historical fiction. I thought it would be based more on the plot and character interactions. Instead, this book spent a lot of time on vulgar humor, crude language, and sex scenes. I was 18 hours into the book before her husband was finally voted into office as president, and it really skimmed over the whole process of him campaigning and his time in office. This book wasn’t really my cup of tea, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
