I love this writer's work, but this was the book of his which I previously passed. For some reason I thought the ending was going to upset me - good thing I finally read it, because it did not.As you can see from the title it is the book about american politics, and of course in many ways it is a fantasy, because I found it hard to believe that openly gay employees would be accepted on such high level positions in the White House any time soon. It is a nice fantasy though, the one which may make us contemplate change. What made some not real aspects of this book to be very believable for me is the fact that it was laced with cynicism and pragmaticism of the real politics. Means justify the end and all that is what to me always drove the politics and I liked to see it in the book and romance was more believable because of that. Doug is extremely complicated character and he and Chad completemented each very well. I wanted that relationship to survive so much.
