I received a review copy of this book from Netgalley. This does not affect my rating or opinions.

Going into this, I really didn't expect to have this much fun reading it. The plot is fairly predictable, some of the drama is a little too contrived, the characters aren't super nuanced (but do get significant development) — but it's one heck of an entertaining story, and the second half is filled with satisfying little moments building up to a very neat resolution.

It's a very comfortable read, one that didn't challenge any of my assumptions but did slightly surprise me (pleasantly) at times, and one I would recommend to most people who like narratives about personal identity, family, friendship, the line between private and professional (particularly for public figures), and a bit of romance.
