What I expected was maybe an alternate history starting when Hilary says ‘no’ to Bill for the last time. In this way, it would construct a sort of alternate reality version of her at a young age. But it actually jumps ahead numerous times in the charting of this alternate life.

The problem is, as someone in Canada, it feels a lot like inside baseball that reads mostly like jargon for people who understand why these alternate events were relevant in the first place; both in terms of American Politics and Hilary, personally. I don’t. At all. So I feel like much of this flies right over my head.

I did like the general character arc and the prose though. It still blows my mind Bill Clinton is characterized as a sex object. Like some golden state champion black hole for women. I looked up young pictures of the couple and Bill has never been a looker and doesn’t seem particularly charismatic. This only deepened my notion that as close as I am to Canada, I will truly never understand some nuances of their culture.
