This was interesting, but something was missing for me. It felt like it was mostly about Eleanor, and less about her relationship with Hick.

This book was a hard one to star....there was so so much history of the Roosevelt presidency separate from E and Hick's relationship. This sometimes felt burdensome because I didn't realize I was going to be reading a detailed account of history like this turned out to be. Sometimes I felt the author was off track with lots of details that didn't clearly support the bigger theme of this relationship. That said...I learned a lot and see E as much more complicated than I ever understood before. I want to read more of Lorena Hickok's writing too...and so didn't know anything of her before. So all in all a helpful book even though the historical kitchen sink was thrown in.

Enjoyable mostly for the history it touched on at a fairly high level.

I had a hard time getting into this, despite being really interested by the overall story. I feel like details were lacking. But, I'm glad I read it. Although it's not what I came here for, it was definitely an interesting perspective on world events at the time. I could read several more books about Hick!

Such an informative read. I heard about those relationship, but this book definitely looks in depth. Whether or not it was sexual, we'll likely never know. But it definitely was romantic.
