Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld

emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

I can see what this book was trying to do, and in some ways it did succeed. I loved the way that parts of what really did happened
Donald Trump being involved, allegations of sexual harassment, and the chanting at rallies
were included but used in different and unexpected ways, however overall I felt like it just fell a bit flat. The last section
where she is actually president and so happy
made me sad to think about what might have/should have been.  Plus the sex scenes were beyond cringe worthy.
