Too soon for Hillary Clinton fanfiction? Also, I never needed to think this much about Hillary and Bill’s sex life. And there are some downright weird choices here...if Clinton had never been president, the world basically remains exactly the same? Except Bernie Sanders doesn’t exist? Just feels lazy. I’m also annoyed that there was like hat-tipping toward Hillary‘s racism without a real engagement with it. All that said, though...this was fun and slightly ridiculous and well written. It’s just weird that this book exists.
