I know this book was published in 2013, so I'm sure no one knew what the future was going to hold into our present day, but..... Why the fuck would the author name the love interest in this story John Trump? The story doesn't stink, but the very name Trump just spoils the romance end of it.

According to Wiki: "The majority of people with the surname live in the United States (close to 5,000 individuals, about 900 of whom live in Pennsylvania); the surname does survive in both Germany and England, but is comparatively rare (below 500 individuals in each country)."

So it is NOT a common name. Not like Johnson, Carter, Nelson or something like that. Trump in America (and the world?) prior to the presidency was still Donald Trump.

On the other hand, the author had no idea what would occur, what is occurring now, etc. I don't know why she picked the name, but unfortunately, it is forever associated with one person and his family. I guess for those who don't like the name, try mentally thinking of it as something else - Trevor or something like that. I don't know. It is what it is....
