Well fuck me in a dog suit, this book turned out to be a fictionalized Laura Bush memoir. In all likelihood I probably wouldn't have read it had I done the smallest bit of research (aka reading a few reviews). As it turns out, it was a pretty good book, at least the first three quarters. Early on...
American Wife tells the story of Alice Lindgren, the bookish daughter of a small town middle class couple who, as a teen, is involved in a car accident which alters her life forever.

I wanted no part of that.Alice Lindgren is a...
After having looked at this book several times over the last year or so, one of my GR groups finally decided to read it as a group read, which bumped it up on my list. The premise of the book, the story of a first lady's life, sounded interesting to me. And it really was, it was just not at all wh...
