Great Expectations by Vinson Cunningham

3.5

No Miss Havisham here! Following a fictitious account of the author’s actual time spent on a presidential campaign, just how Shakespeare is omitted by from Hamnet, President Obama is in this. I thought the prose itself was great, but the storyline was meandering and inconsistent. It’s marketed to be more campaign-centered, but I’d say it focuses more on the relationships that came from it. I usually like slice-of-life stories, but it felt more randomly reflective than engaging.
