It almost felt like the first half of the book was written by a different person than the second half. The first half was alright, it was very idealistic “anything is possible” vibe which odd for a political romance. Lots of “we asked a state senator who is usually v opposed to climate for their vote on this climate bill and they said yes, woohoo!” I was not into it but because it was for my book club I kept going. And I’m glad I did! The second half was much better. Much more interesting and complex and nuanced. It felt much more real and believable. 

Overall it was fairly funny and a fine read, usually I am not into  second chance, cheating, or politically based romances so this did have to overcome a lot for me to be fine about it! 

A quote I’ll contemplate: “I’m just saying that when you give someone your heart, you have to accept they might break it. And if they do, it doesn’t mean you weren’t right to give it in the first place. And that you shouldn’t give it to someone else again.”
