Received a copy of this novel in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for my honest review.
Awful with a few glimmers of hope here and there that just never panned out. The issue was the lack of a logically flowing timeline. Random memories were interspersed between working on the presidential campaign fundraising team, and they were illogically placed. There was also no sense of the passage of time while working on the campaign itself.
This whole novel was just an unfocused mess, really.

Slow, plodding, and purposefully vague in a way that made it seem like the author just didn't want to bother going through the additional processes that a memoir about working on President Obama's campaign would have triggered, so he decided to write the memoir, take out some names, and call it a novel. Do not understand the hype for this book at all.

It was agonizing to read. It was unclear what it was about and full of trivial stories that had little connection.
