Rodham isn’t as satisfying as her novel about Laura Bush, but together, they’re both richer.

My peeve is with scenes of an intimate nature, because tharlt living person could read them and find them uncomfortable. Also, I feel that if the person is still alive, the writer should ask permission, and if that person accepts, it should be consulted about these matters.

Based on the Cracked review I saw, I wouldn't bother with it.

Aside from having more Clinton erotica than anyone is comfortable with, it's pretty lazy AH, with Hillary still winning the 2016 nomination and running against her ex-husband Bill, who is a tech executive (??) and a stand-in for Trump (????)
