This turned out to be a remarkably readable book. It had good pacing--the obstacles thrown in front of the main character, who is running for president, were doled out at a good rate and kept the story moving along. I would say that this novel is well worth your time. The only thing I didn't quite buy was the actions of Zane, the troublemaker in the story. As smart as he was reputed to be in the book--smart enough to find himself as a personal aide to the vice president--his actions were completely stupid and not something an intelligent person would do. Having said that, the writing, pace, and storyline were so good that I found myself putting off other things so I could keep reading. I loved the scenario of two women running for president, and found the story of Catherine's "secret" coming back to bite her after 30 years to be a peek inside what it must be like to become a public figure and have your past catch up with you in front of the entire world. I highly recommend this book as an enjoyable, fast-paced, interesting read.
