American Wife

I went into reading this book having no clue it drew heavily on the real life of Laura Bush. Without knowing that and not knowing enough about Laura to figure it out myself, I really enjoyed this book. What a surprise when I went to mark this as read in Goodreads and saw numerous angry reviews from people. Honestly reading those made me chuckle. Overall, I found this book poignant and captivating. Curtis Sittenfeld deftly captured the journey of this woman grow from a naïve, lost child to an adult women trying to find her own way while supporting her partner. This book made me laugh, cry, and ponder my own adulthood existence. I have already recommended this to two other people.
