Review :
Cady Davenport is living the American dream. At least she is supposed to be. She is in a new city, with a new job and even a new fiancé. But when her husband-to-be hits the road for the upcoming presidential election, Cady realizes she is on her own - and that her dream life might not be all she had imagined. Until she finds herself thrust straight into the heart of the most influential inner circle in Washington, DC - the campaign widows. As friends, they're an unlikely group - a fabulous Georgetown doyenne, a speechwriter turned mommy blogger, an artsy website editor and a First Lady hopeful who is not convinced she wants the job. But they share one undeniable bond : their spouses are all out on the trail during a hotly contested election season. Cady is unsure of her place in their illustrious group, but with the pressures of the unprecedented election mounting, the widows' worlds keep turning, faster than ever, as they hold down the fort while running companies, raising babies, racking up page views and even reinventing themselves. And their friendship might be just what Cady needs to find the strength to pursue her own happiness.
This book has a very different theme. I have not read any other book with the theme of American presidential election campaign. The concept of campaign widows is novel and interesting. This book has a potpourri of characters; each with a very different personality. Initially, I was a little confused with a lot of characters and parallel plots, but as the story progressed, it became more clear. We get an idea about the politics that happen in the campaign. The author has everything covered - candidates, journalists, parties and campaign widows. The author has a unique writing style. This book has strong female characters and my favourite is Raegan. The author makes a lot of witty remarks in the book. The story itself is predictable yet it is interesting. All the different kind of candidates that are seen in an election campaign and their aspirations and dreams are depicted in this book. There is good continuity in the story and there is also a cute gay couple in the book. This book has a gorgeous cover with french flaps and deckle edges. If you want a book with only light romance and more of cut-throat competition and rivalry, this book is a welcome choice.
Rating : 4/5
