Exactly! I could only reveal so much in a review, but there was a sense of redemption for the First Lady and…ugh, no. Sadly, I don’t think another term is out of the question, but let’s not think about it yet.

No way, no how!! So does Sofie have some sort of break with Lara towards the end? Hmm. I like political / D.C. novels (since I lived there for like 15 years) but this one sounds like it chafes! I’m not sure if I can think of that couple right now. It’s like repulsion … so perhaps I should wait on this book … even though it’s fiction … but too close!

I’m reaching the same place, although everyone’s stressors are different. I should have paid more attention to the synopsis bc COVID and politics are the two I need to avoid.

I read to be entertained books with themes that would stress me out are a no go.
