Loved this book! The banter (it’s too good to be called dialogue) between the two main characters (Bijal – Republican / Colleen – Democrat) is fantastic and more often than not gets me laughing so hard that I am crying.

Very funny book! Loved the characters. So funny. Colette joined us on Cocktail Hour episode 13 to talk about her work. It is probably my favorite show. If you like her work, you won't want to miss it.

Bijal Rao, a lesbian indian-american republican gets her first staff position working for Janet Denton, a republican mayor that is trying to unseat an openly lesbian democrat congresswoman, in a red state. As told by Bijal to her best friend in the beginning of the book, Janet, like Bijal is fiscally conservative but has liberal positions regarding LGBT and women rights. Colleen O'Bannon, the congresswoman who is fighting for her first reelection, has gone into politics due to the death of her p ...more
