George Bush, Dark Prince of Love: A Presidential Romance (Original) by Lydia Millet

2.0

I loved Lydia Millet's book, Pills and Starships, so I was very excited to jump into another book of hers, especially one that was political satire. Unfortunately, I had a hard time keeping focus (whether that the book or the pandemic is anyone's guess), and it was extremely difficult to find anything redeemable about the main character. The concept of the book (and the short length) kept me reading, but past that it was really hard to keep going at times. If I had more objective knowledge of Bush senior's presidency, this book may have been more enjoyable, but that might be a cop out in this case as policy/events seemed to be just thrown in and the primary focus on G.B. (as Rosemary would reference him) was to feed Rosemary's obsession.
