Loved this! I had to stay up to some ridiculous hour this morning to complete it. I had to keep reminding myself this was a work of fiction. I’d be really keen to know what both Hillary and Bill Clinton think of this novel. Interested to read some other work of Curtis Sittenfeld.

Reading this I felt more uneasy than I expected to. Seeing the alternative future play out, but with startling familiarity, left me feeling a little disoriented. What actually happened. What really didn’t. How might we all have been different? How might we have stayed exactly the same?

I really truly believe that Hillary would have been able to go farther if she had not married Bill so I was very excited for this book. Unfortunately this book was not what I was expecting and I did not enjoy it maybe because I had such high hopes for the book. I also have ethical issues with the idea of writing basically a fan-fiction on a real person's life even though they are quite famous.

LOVED THIS BOOK found it really good - some parts were a bit American politics heavy which isn’t my favourite topic for a book but necessary for obviously reasons. overall loved the story and how it was written
