This is about a Silicon Valley hotshot who takes a leave from her job, uprooting her family to Pennsylvania to run for senate. Her husband leaves her job to take care of the kids and this is a very real look at what running for office does to their marriage. It also shows the hugely sexist side of politics (especially in a more conservative state like Pennsylvania). The character development was so good. I kinda imagined Sheryl Sandberg as Charlotte, and her opponent was an almost caricature (in the best sense of the word) of an old school white male politician. I ate this up. Love everything Jo writes and this was no exception!
