Overview
“Offers a witty, insider’s view of life and love inside the Beltway.” —Today
Emmy Award–nominated screenwriter and bestselling author Kristin Gore delivers a novel that takes you into the heart of American politics in all its manic glory.
Meet Capitol Hill staffer Samantha Joyce, who—at only twenty-six years old—has risen to the role of domestic policy advisor for a junior senator from Ohio. When it comes to improving the lives of his constituents, Sammy is tireless and driven. She brings that same energy to her own hypochondria and obscure holiday obsession (Happy Janitor Appreciation Day!).
While fighting to get her boss’s prescription drug benefit bill passed, Sammy starts sleeping with the enemy: the speech writer for an ambitious senator who will stop at nothing to satisfy his presidential ambitions. Yes, her heart is conflicted, but she’s adult enough to know that the perfect relationship doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, she has cynical power plays and juicy scandals to navigate, including her own disastrous reply-all debacle. It’s not until a devastating betrayal that Sammy feels justified putting her own needs first, while she gleefully watches karma work its magic on the national stage . . .
