American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld
5.0

I wish I could read it again for the first time! Loved it. My one complaint is, why can't it be set it Texas? And why doesn't she have twins? Not sure I get that. I suppose there are some elements of each of the Bush twins, and of Chelsea in Ellie, but I don't know why the plot couldn't have held a little truer to Laura's real life.
