What happens when a political wordsmith finds herself at a loss for words? Libby McIssac is known for two things: catching bridal bouquets (her record's an even dozen) and having a way with words. Since the former isn't really something that looks good on a r#65533;sum#65533;, it's helpful to have parlayed the latter into a new career as a political speechwriter. But just as she's making sure her boss looks as if she knows something about...well, anything, Libby's world is turned upside down. Enter a handsome British consultant--a bit on the cagey side, perhaps--who upsets the delicate chain of command around the office and somehow always gets what he wants. Including Libby? When a media leak of a big-time scandal sends everyone into a tailspin, Libby fears she may get caught in the cross fire. Cue the fake alliances, the secrets, the sex, the subterfuge, the hidden friendships: it's all there. Welcome to the world of politics, where perception is everything, nothing is as it seems and the last thing you want is to be left speechless.… (altro)

so far loving this book. parts are slow, not as good, but I have to say when the book hits the mark its right up there with my favorites. There are places that are just laugh out loud funny, that sustain you through the hum drums...Loved this book. It was funny, cleverly written. I wanted to yell at Libby for being confused about Richard or Tim. But then I think back to when I faced the dilemna of good vs evil and chose poorly. ( )

The pros: this book is funny, the protagonist is very likeable without seeming perfect; the ending is fun; the setting -- Toronto -- is, in my view, most enjoyable.
The cons: it's a little long, there isn't enough plot and there isn't enough introspection. ( )
