I just finished reading American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld. I thought it was great and I highly reccomend it if you're looking for one last beach read or need a book to occupy you during a flight or really if you want a good book to read for any reason at all! Very succintly, the book is about a small-town Wisconsin girl who ends up in the White House and married to the President. The author is the same woman who wrote Prep, and I thought this was even better. Although it's long it reads very quickly. I can't say enough good things about this book; 5 stars!
