The Wrong Side of Right by Jenn Marie Thorne

3.0

3.5 stars. This was pretty enjoyable overall, and the romance in particular was super cute, but this is probably not the best time to try to convince me that Republicans like Kate’s dad who don’t care solely about maintaining power and who are thoughtful and can actually be reasoned with on topics like immigration actually exist. Her dad was a nice idealized version of a Republican that I feel like I’ve seen in a lot of books like this, and while usually I kind of just roll my eyes and move on, it was a lot harder to get past it here. Also, why in the hell was the GOP convention held in LA??? Anyways, in addition to the romance, I did really enjoy Kate’s relationship with Meg and her newfound siblings. Her relationship with her dad didn’t work as well for me since he was kind of an asshole at times, and he didn’t do nearly enough to make up for it in the end (plus the way he described his and Kate’s mother’s relationship did make him come off as kind of creepy).
