American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld
Wow. This book took FOREVER. It probably doesn't help that I read a book inbetween, moved to a new state (so had to return it to the library beforehand), waited a couple weeks before renewing my library card here in Charlotte and then started it again. Pheew. Lots of excuses. Ha!
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It didn't captivate me by any means (hence the fact that it took over three months to start and finish) but it was enjoyable. I would love to know just how much of this is based on Laura Bush. I enjoyed the portrayal of her in her 30's the best. I know many other readers that LOVED this, but I'd put it on my like shelf...and only if someone gifted me the book! :)
Did you read this? Did you find it lukewarm as well? Or did I just miss something...

Once I realized it was about Laura Bush, I was slightly more interested but I didn't love the book by any means. I, too, wonder how much of it is real.
