The One You Need by Emma Barry
4.0
Emma Barry captured the way it feels to be in that late 20s/early 30s working in and around politics, not naïve, but not totally cynical yet, period of life. Washington DC is many cities coexisting in the same place, one of them is young, plugged into the machinery of government, and ready to take the world by storm.
I won’t spoil the scenario that brings Liam and Alyce together in Private Politics. Liam has been infatuated with Alyce for months, but Alyce hasn’t shown much interest. Liam is certain that Alyce is way out of his league and Alyce is too insecure to believe Liam could be interested in her beyond her shiny surface. She is also facing a possibly career ending situation. When they do hook up, they are so guarded and defensive that they almost torpedo the relationship before it has begun. Liam is much more certain of what he wants than Alyce, but Alyce is worried she has more to lose – specifically her self and her ambitions.
