Happily married with a young daughter, Ethan and Gabe find themselves at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Ethan’s drift to the right culminates in his announcement that he wants to run for Congress on a Republican ticket, but only with Gabe’s blessing. Torn between his dearest beliefs and his love for Ethan, Gabe lends his support to his husband, gritting his teeth at photo shoots designed to show how Republicans can be gay too. Over a campaign which sees Ethan publicly espousing beliefs Gabe finds abhorrent, their private life is picked over in public and Gabe loses the trust of his students and colleagues. Crunch time comes with the Primary.
Harris writes wittily, peopling her novel with engaging characters, but her exploration of the campaign machinery, the many compromises made and the effects on family and friends makes serious points. Given my interest in politics, this one had instant appeal for me but even if you find the prospect of a political novel dull, I’d still recommend it. Aside from political shenanigans, it’s about love, compromise and relationships wrapped up in a highly entertaining piece of storytelling.

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this book as an arc
This isn't exactly my favorite topic to read about but this book kept me interested the whole way through so l think that says a lot about the way it was written
It was serious and funny at the same time and I had a great time reading it
The characters were all flawed but that made feel more real even though sometimes they were a bit much If you are looking for a book that will incorporate politics and more important themes but still in a very casual easy to read way I think this is the way to go

(3.5 stars)
