This book started off much stronger than it finished. By the end, Alice just plain bothered me. Alice is extremely impulsive, and most of her decisions are suspect. As a person, this is not someone I would look up to. This is not someone I would like. Alice's selfish ways lead the entire story, and are constantly justified. I enjoyed the first and second parts the best, the third was alright and the fourth was just.....overkill. 
 I understand that this book was based on Mr. and Mrs. Bush, however I did not know when I picked American Wife up. Starting this book whilst on vacation in DC was another little treat. 
 Unfortunately, the dog I was sitting decided to eat my book, so I am unable to re-read my copy, however I'm not sure that I want to. I enjoyed reading this book, but I genuinely don't think I can handle Alice again.
