The Wrong Side of Right by Jennifer Thorne

5.0

This is probably going to sound crazy, but hear me out—the stressfulness of this book made it so fun! Politics are so tiring but so interesting. EVERYTHING has an impact. Life on the tour bus was really cool. And despite the whole bipartisan conflict, I didn't feel like it was TOO preachy or trying to tell me to become a Republican (somewhat of an unpopular opinion as we get more progressive). This story has a very interesting tie-in with immigration as well. Definitely interesting to consider both sides there.

So many of these characters were really loveable. I cheered on Katie, I ADORED Andy (seriously), and I felt so much warmth towards Meg and the twins. Penny and Evelyn are pretty fabulous too! I just wish we had more banter, funny comments, and snark. Those were the best parts of the story. I wish we also got to see Katie attending Farnwell Prep, because there's so much potential to interact (especially with people from Jake's birthday party). I want to read more about them!

There were also some pretty hate-worthy antagonists. I wanted to punch Elliott in the face, to be honest. But most of the others on the campaign trail had some redeeming qualities.

The book read a fraction "younger," but it was not too noticeable. Definitely a sweet read, and I forward to Thorne's other releases in the future!
