I thought this book was pretty good. 4 out of 5 is accurate. :) At times the characters didn't seem "real" but overall it sparked my interest in FDR and his family.
At the beginning of each chapter there are quotes and lines from real letters/statements by various members of the Roosevelt family and the Mercers; as well as political figures that were close to FDR. It makes the story feel more real. This I think is what held my interest.
However, this book is entirely fiction and it is based on a lot of speculation. However it was fun and very quick!

Nice novelized version of the affair between FDR and Lucy Mercer. Don't take if for fact, however.
