This is possibly one os the quickest, easiest poltiical romances you will ever read.  I am not really big on politics, but I always enjoy the presidential election seasons.  And it is nice that I have actually lived through every one of them that the author has chosen to cover.  And it is quite unique to see it through the lens of one Lucy Jones, a liberal who seems to struggle with getting what she wants from life.I am glad that there were no bedroom scenes.  The profanity was there but not as bad as some books.  The liberal mindset did not bother me too much (even though I am a conservative).  I was pleased that the protagonist never discussed the more controversial topics of liberalism--gay rights and abortion.  I fully expected that to be there, and I even thought she might make a decsion that would be in keeping with that.  Actually, all she did was point out things about each president and candidate that I truly already knew.  Or had heard.  And I basically agreed with her view on the presidential candidates and campaigns.The story itself was nothing shocking or overly intriguing.  It was just an easy-to-read story that spanned a few decades.  I enjoyed some of the author's references to things I remember from certain eras.  This is an interesting book to read--especially during a campaign year.  Nice review of recent American history!I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
