meredith trapp is officially an auto-buy author for me! her books are so sweet🫶

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc!!!

this is a great read for a west wing lover. however, even for the most die hard wingnut, over 550 pages is . . . a lot. it definitely seems to me that some sections could have been shorter. also i would've loooooooooved if there had been pictures!!!! more of a coffee table book vibe would have made it perfect. it was a good book, though, overall. the section(s) about John Spencer made me cry! and the different sections about service were interesting, although sometimes too naive and simplistic, in my opinion.

this biography definitely has its pros and cons. it was pretty short, and i could have chosen a longer one, but i didnt. the length wasnt a problem except i might have liked one more chapter about clintons early life. the author does a pretty good job at staying objective except for a few random times when he just inserts his opinion. the affair/impeachment coverage is probably the best part of this book. it is concise yet informative 

such a fun and quick read!! a very solid debut, although it couldve used one more pass through editing. 

there are like some random anti-fat parts of this ???? but i do think the couple was good together 

this is a fun, spicy, and relaxing read without brilliant writing, but it still manages to be enjoyable. 

gemma voss’ writing definitely gets better as this series continues!

this had off campus vibes in the best way! summer’s ex also reminded me of the ex from icebreaker. i just wish there were a few elements that she delved into a little more (summer’s specific history w her dad, her research, aiden’s life after his childhood), and that she took some small things out (a few of the side characters, some of the sexist comments from the players, maybe one sex scene). the relationship is really sweet though, and i cant wait to read spiral !!!

well-written with a pretty good message, albeit a bit too preachy and simplistic
