We’re all products of particular circumstances, of times and places and ways of thinking, but our minds and hearts can be opened. I loved the first chapter. The rest of the book went downhill. When I read the blurb for the first time, I got excited about Rodham. Having read the book, it was an awkward piece of fanfiction about living people. And I HATE fanfictions about real people, that’s a line you shouldn’t cross. I usually do not mind sex scenes, but reading them about a real life politician… it just made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. And then the chapters about the 2016 election… Hillary asking Trump to run for president, Trump endorsing her.. it just rubbed me the wrong way. I know it is a fictional book but it just felt wrong because it implied that Bill Clinton is a worse person than Trump. The book was quite dull and Hillary was a one-dimensional character. While I see Hillary Clinton as a famous feminist, this book wasn’t the feminist story I expected it to be.
