The Wrong Side of Right by Jenn Marie Thorne
Pub. Date: March 17, 2015
Goodreads says, "Kate Quinn’s mom died last year, leaving Kate parentless and reeling. So when the unexpected shows up in her living room, Kate must confront another reality she never thought possible—or thought of at all. Kate does have a father. He’s a powerful politician. And he’s running for U.S. President. Suddenly, Kate’s moving in with a family she never knew she had, joining a campaign in support of a man she hardly knows, and falling for a rebellious boy who may not have the purest motives. This is Kate’s new life. But who is Kate? When what she truly believes flies in the face of the campaign’s talking points, she must decide. Does she turn to the family she barely knows, the boy she knows but doesn’t necessarily trust, or face a third, even scarier option? Set against a backdrop of politics, family, and first love, this is a story of personal responsibility, complicated romance, and trying to discover who you are even as everyone tells you who you should be."Publishers are describing this book as My Life Next Door meets Princess Diaries. Yes, please! Also, it says for fans of Sarah Dessen, which means it's an auto add to my TBR list. I love the sound of this one and want to read more books that involve political settings. What do you guys think?
I kind of like that the book is about "personal responsibility" and looking at what you truly believe. The presidential campaign angle should be interesting too. I will have to add this to my TBR list. I hadn't heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I love that it deals with politics and I think we need more books like that! Thanks for visiting, Christina!
DeleteCool pick. Lovely cover.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover…stunning….thanks for visiting, Juju!
DeleteThat cover makes my heart smile. And the synopsis sounds very cool. I'm a little perplexed by the MC's name because my favorite HF author's name happens to be Kate Quinn. Weird... ; )

Oh, you must read both My Life Next Door and Sarah Dessen. Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors…you won't be disappointed. Truth About Forever is my fave. Thanks for visiting, Kirsty!
DeleteI am so looking forward to this book! I live in DC and there aren't nearly enough books in genres I enjoy that are set here!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW!
I completely agree, Kim. I was just saying that we need more books with political settings. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThis sounds really good. It's not at all about what I would think judging from the cover.I guess that's why we're not supposed to judge books by covers :) Great pick!

DeleteThat cover though!

I know, right?! It's one of my faves! Thanks for dropping by, Christianna!
DeleteThe presidential aspect sounds interesting, I hope they show how having her dad runs for president affects Kate. It can't be easy having a politician for a father. I've heard good things about My Life Next Door and Sarah Dessen, though I haven't read them, or at least finished a book. If it's like them, there should be some sweet romance happening at the end. :) Nice choice, I'll definitely add this to my Goodreads list.

Oh, you must read Dessen! She's the best! I am glad you agree that this book sounds good. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteThis book sounds really interesting. I'll definitely like the political aspect of it. Hopefully it's done really well and shows how the mc is affected by her father running for president. It definitely can't be easy having a father who's also a politician. Nice choice, this book is definitely on my Goodreads list now. Here's my WoW.

I like a little political intrigue sometimes, but a comparison to My Life Next Door and Sarah Dessen makes me think it's probably not that. It does sound interesting, though, and I do have it on my TBR. Great pick!
