Rating: 5 out of 5

No one can make me {fiercely} love or dislike characters better than Rachel does.Out of all of her books, and I will admit that I haven't read *all* of her historicals quite yet {2014 is around the corner for that goal!}, Elect is by far my favorite....And I didn't think anything could top Shatter.Nixon...oh how I love love love me some Nixon.MY BOOK BOYFRIEND, LADIES. FIND YOUR OWN! {Unless you're Dannae and then I'll happy share him with you just because you're a BFF}Honestly? I could care less who Tracey ends up with. I like her, but there are times when I just want to grab her by her hair and tell her to pull them big girl panties on and woman up! She can be so wishy washy and there were a few times in this book I just wanted to encase her feet in cement and dump her in Lake Michigan while blowing her kisses and MAYBE giving her a one finger salute.Ahem.I spent the whole time reading this running to my computer to have a group chat with Rachel, Heather, and Dannae - who I am quite sure were group chatting and laughing at me - berating where the book was headed.Okay, so Heather laughed right in my face, but you know...drama!At one point not only did I start crying HYSTERICALLY {newborn babies have NOTHING on me when it comes to UGLY HYSTERICAL CRY!}, I also vomited.Yes, readers, it was THAT INTENSE. Holy sawdust was this book INTENSE. I laughed. I cried. I vomited as mentioned...and I railed at Rachel, fists shaking {fingers may have attempted to uncurl so that I could map out directions to her house} and lips pouting while fierce brown eyes narrowed until I could just barely see...That, in my opinion, is the sign of a great book. I loved it. I liked it. I disliked parts...but always, always was my love for Nixon.There are some surprises that just slap you in the face quicker than you can say HOLY WHAT?!I can't wait for Entice. April is just too far away. TOO. FAR. AWAY.DO YOU HEAR WHAT I AM SAYING, RACHEL?!
