After reading Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, I can assure you that I will never run for any type of political office. Not that I was planning on it, but still......

Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win follows Charlotte Walsh as she moves back to Pennsylvania and runs for state senate. A nasty, dirty campaign ensues. While Charlotte Walsh is certainly a liberal candidate, I believe that people from both sides of the aisle can appreciate the hardships she and her family endure while on the campaign trail. Typical of Jo Piazza's books, this story can be a bit over-the-top at times, but is overall a great read.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This was my first No Piazza book, so I was ecstatic when I was approved for an e-copy arc via Netgalley. This book is the political and a times satirical book we need based off the current political climate we are currently enduring. Charlotte was a relatable character and provokes the common question, can women really have it all? Again" thank you Netgalley & Simon & Schuster for an advanced e-copy in return for an honest review.

This book is for leftist women. I had hope when the description said that women on both sides of the aisle could enjoy it, but I was disappointed. The book tries to stay center and focuses on the struggles a woman faces trying to succeed in politics, but it clearly isn’t trying to sell to Republican women.

Every time you start to forget that Charlotte is a Democrat, the author slams it back in your face to subtly shame you for believing in different politics. Mean tweets from Republicanesque twitter handles. Pushing for “reasonable” gun control. Purporting that her protesters were paid when several news agencies reported the Trump protesters were paid. A white nationalist terrorist even though that overwhelmingly is not the usual ideology to carry out terror attacks in this country (or abroad). A group of hooded KKK members marched against her on election night (when was the last time America had a hooded KKK march? Why would they march on election night? Wouldn’t it be more effective to march the night before?).

Try to be less obvious in your dislike of the president. The evil incumbent is a 70-something on his third wife, 20 years his junior? Give Tug a fourth wife, or just a string of girlfriends, but change it up.

I gave up on this after a few pages--the writing style was too self-aware.
