Did I enjoy this book: November Surprise was an enjoyable read. It was not overly political. I could not see a definite agenda from the author...the character had a definite liberal slant but it wasn't a beat-you-over-the-head-with-the-author's-ideals type of slant. I liked that.The characters were rather diverse. Lucy seemed to lack self-confidence and she was very closed off in her personal life. However, where politics were concerned, she was quite outspoken and passionate. Jack, Lucy's first boyfriend then best friend, seems laid back and at ease. He looks to Lucy for advice and friendship. Monty, Jack's older and much more popular brother, is seemingly perfect. He is an attorney, he worked in Africa, and he  has fallen for Lucy.There were some funny moments. Some moments that make you happy. Some moments you just want to shake your head at. All-in-all a good read. The end did seem a bit open-ended. Perhaps there will be another book that will continue this story.Would I recommend it: I would recommend this book if you enjoy chick lit and politics.Will I read it again: I will not. However, I will check out her other books.
