Cora Walker almost single-handedly fights terrorists in Benghazi. Years later, as aide to the Speaker of the House, she fights Americans determined to bring our government down.
For someone sick of Trump, it was hard for me to read about the Trump-like president in Second Term. The action in the latter part of the novel often seemed contrived and unnecessary. I didn't really enjoy the novel, sorry to say.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

The Second Terms starts with Cora Walker in 2012 where she's working undercover in Libya. In parts 2 and 3, it jumps to 2028 in DC where she is tasked with the difficult task of trying to save the country from turning into turmoil.

I want to start by saying that I think this is a really well written book. I did enjoy parts 1 and 3 more than part 2, I think just because part 2 was building up for part 3 and it was maybe not as action packed. I really felt like I was rooting for Cora and her return to her family by the end of the book.

I think my main critique is that I felt that one of the main focuses of the book is the politics itself where I did not feel like that was fully conveyed in the description. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it just was not fully what I was expecting.
