The Wrong Side of Right by Jennifer Thorne
3.0
I had heard a lot of good things about The Wrong Side Of Right, so I picked up a copy without really knowing much about it. As I picked it up to read, I was surprised that it politics was at the centre of it. Not my favourite subject area, yet I was intrigued and engaged by this book. Jenn Marie Thorne is a great writer and I’m certainly looking forward to what comes next from her.
The Wrong Side Of Right centres around Kate Quinn, who has recently lost her mother. Kate thought she was parentless, but her father turns up. Kate is shocked to find out that her father is a politican who is currently running for the US president. Kate’s world is completely turned around, when she meets her new family including her stepmother and her half brother and sister. Kate also falls in love with the wrong person, the son of the opposition, she realises his interest in her may also be political and tactical.
Kate is an easy character to like. She’s clever, which I appreciate, and holds herself together well considering how her life completely changes in an instant. I also really enjoyed how real the relationship between her new family was portrayed. Both her stepmother and her new siblings took a while to adapt to accepting Kate into their family. This was incredibly realistic. I don’t think anyone would welcome a ‘love child’ into the family so quickly. I really liked Meg, the Senator’s wife. I enjoyed reading about her developing relationship with Kate. Again, so realistic. Jenn Marie Thorne is a great writer!
I thought this book was really good and balancing the personal and political dramas in Kate’s life. The romance is certainly more on the light side. It’s not at the forefront of the story. In fact, The Wrong Side Of Right is more about family and building relationships.
