Deborah's Reviews > Let's Not Do That Again

The book blurb had me at its comparison to TV political comedy Veep. Well, not hardly. While this story is set in the world of American politics, it lacks all the humour of that sharp-eyed satire. Instead, we have a female senate hopeful on the campaign trail whose young adult daughter goes off the rails in Paris, throwing a champagne bottle through the window of a very upscale restaurant and taking up with a racist right-wing politico who makes Marine Le Pen look moderate. Oh dear. The scramble is on to get the daughter home and under control so she’ll stop sabotaging her mother’s election hopes.
