Madam President - Blayne Cooper

It's the year 2020 and history has been made by Devlyn Marlowe, the first woman to win the U.S. Presidency. The writer she chooses to chronicle her term in office, Lauren Strayer, doesn’t want the job at first but changes her mind when she is promised editorial freedom.

Accepting it, she finds herself living in the Whitehouse with the First Family. Caught up in the frenzy of life at the White House, Lauren begins to unravel the complex woman that is the President and finds herself more intrigued by Devlyn with each passing day.

At times the book is amusing, the characters likeable, and the plot engaging. At others it is painfully slow and frustrating.

It’s worth reading, and I will pick up the sequel, but it’s not a ‘page-turner’ by any means.
