It’s hard to believe this is a work of fiction as it reads like a highly believable biography. Well told with strong writing even though I didn’t know much about American politics - I enjoyed it!

What a cool alternate history and the author did a great job capturing her voice. I do think the first section when she and Bill were together was the most captivating because it felt like a realistic view of their relationship and the tension she likely actually felt. Although I did enjoy the later sections that split from reality too, that first part was very interesting!

This alternate history diverged from reality further into the book than I am used to and I am going to spend a significant time cross-checking some things from the first quarter to reality to see if I just missed some. After the main, drastic divergence, there were some interesting smaller changes and parallels - which are my favorite parts of alternate history. They were well done and fascinating. I felt like the voice of Hillary was well envisions, though it was much more familiars form the more political voice of her actual writing. I enjoyed the journey, but felt a bit sad for this imagined Hillary during much of the book - it felt realistic but sad.

I liked how this one turned out better than real life.

I expected this book to be a cathartic piece of fiction drawn around characters I was already familiar with. Did it have good parts? Sure. But ultimately I found it to be boring and disappointing, and it took me months to get through it because I just never wanted to pick it back up.
