"I'm sorry-" I had to say something. "What is this? What's going on?" 
 The men's voices in the back room got louder, one-sided conversations into cell phones. Yelling about me? About this famous man, settling into my uncle's chair with his head in his hands? 
 I drew in a breath, but my voice still came out shaky. "Are you my father?" 
 His head shot up, eyes alert and very blue. Blue like mine. 
 "I think I am." 
 The defeat in his voice muffled any thrill I might have felt from those words. 
 What I liked about this book: 
 -The characters; the Coopers specifically (Kate Quinn included). They really were the best part of the book for me. I love Meg. She accepted Kate like her own. At first, Kate and Meg's relationship was all tense, awkward and a lot of careful conversations but as the story progressed, I saw Meg caring deeply for Kate as the way she cares for Gabe and Gracie. The twins were also very lovable. They had no problem accepting Kate. (view spoiler)[well, except for Gabe. But the way he warmed up to her is so sweet and wonderful. (hide spoiler)] I loved that they had issues of their own (especially Gracie's) about their father and the campaign. The senator was . . . quite a complicated person to understand. There are moments when you would see through his "campaign mask" and see the real Mark Cooper (the way Kate sees him sometimes). And then there are moments when it seemed that the campaign was more important to him. As a candidate, I was rooting for him. He really does care for the people. As a father? Not so much. At the beginning! I loved how he made up for it in the end though. And finally, Kate. I loved how polite she was. She was not resentful. She didn't become one of those annoying I-don't-think-my-father-cares-about-me-so-I-should-start-acting-up-and-rebel protagonists. You can see that she was just a regular daughter waiting for the loving attention of her father. 
 -The politics. I knew from the start that the senator's hard line against immigration is going to be a problem for the latter part of the story. But I loved how the senator progressed through this. I don't want to give away too much so I'll just leave it like this. 
 -Andy Lawrence! Yes, I know that he is also a character and therefore should have belonged to the "The characters" part of this review. But I felt like he needed a part all to himself. I loved that he was the comic-romantic relief for Kate. How he became someone Kate could talk to and that the understood how she feels about everything: the campaign, the senator, etc. I loved how cute and persistent he is. I just love everything about him. 
 What I didn't like about this book: 
 -Andy Lawrence. (what???) Well, more specifically, the lack thereof. I wanted to him to have a deeper background. Being the president's son and all, I wanted to have known what it was like for him as well. I know that him and Kate have similar experiences during campaigns and under the spotlight but his are obviously harsher. I wanted to know where his advices for Kate came from. We would have felt attached to him more if he had a background story. 
 - Elliot Freaking Webb! God, I hated this guy all throughout the book. He's just plain evil. Period. 
 All in all, I highly recommend this book.
