A review by laila4343
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld

3.0

I really liked this book until about halfway through. Alice Lindgren is a very appealing character. I wish the book hadn't fallen apart as it headed into the alcoholism and political career of Charlie Blackwell. Oh well. I just had a hard time buying that such a smart, thoughtful woman would align herself with such a boorish boob. So either she's not as smart as we want her to be, or she's seriously misleading herself.
