In Tina Montford's 'The Last Minute First Lady,' I found an unexpectedly enjoyable escape, even though romance isn't usually my go-to genre. Jolie, the main character, is this fierce woman you can't help but cheer for, hoping she finds the peace she deserves. Cassian, though likable initially, sparked frustration in the third act and made me want to shake some sense into him. Of course, the happy ending was there, as expected. While not a standout, the book piqued my interest sufficiently to explore more of Montford's work in the future.
