This is a fun chick-lit book. Very cute and funny.

Written from the point of view of someone who has "Been there - Done that" Ms. Gore has a wry sense of humor - reminds me a bit of Carrie Fisher with softer edges. All in all - a good book! What's next Ms. Gore?

Sammy is a very interesting character - sort of neurotic, but likeable. This book is predictable and a quick read, but good.

Felt like a rip off of the "Confessions of a..." series, just way worse. I put it down 1/3 in and didn't care to ever finish it.

Rosemary F. (roro) from GLENSIDE, PA wrote on 11/6/2007...

this is the best book i have ever read about politics. It is a personal story of a aide who is still idealistic and competent in the office and a bumbler in her own life and is really not so sure of herself.

Michelle S. from EAGLE, MI wrote on 11/3/2007...

Kristen Gore winds a humorous tale about Sammy, a young professional working on Capitol Hill.

"A beltway Bridget Jones"

funny, original, better writing than most in this chicklit genre.

Tara K. (RandomReader) from WASHINGTON, DC wrote on 3/20/2006...

There were some cute moments, but I thought the story took a really long time to get going.

Julie S. from SUGAR GROVE, IL wrote on 2/22/2006...

This was an enjoyable read. I thought that the tone of the book changed about half way through. I actually liked the 2nd half better than the first.
