If this novel is based on truth, our taxpayer dollars fund workers who goof around all day on the Internet, take long lunch hours to have sex with married men, and heavily drink and drug. I may not approve of the Washingtonienne's behavior, but it sure was fun to read about. ( )page 150 descibes me and what i am doing. according to page 259 the book therapist says: dysthymia is depression ... common to writers/comedians... disorder .. constantly entertaining themselves... cope. I think a book should be a blast from start to finish like this. bought it from my library reject list. i liked it. This is one sick book! What can I say I loved it! Based on the true happenings of Jessica Cutler's experiences in Washington working for a senator. It's risque but also cleverly written. If you like something a little bit more on the wild and true side and like modern women fiction - try it!I did warn you will be shocked at a few things! I got this for less than two bucks in the bargain bin of the local bookstore and I still overpaid for it. I was hoping for a mindless, fun read and instead I got an idiotic, boring read. The book is supposed to be semi-autobiographical, but I pray it's not because I find it hard to believe there exists someone this dull in real life. A semi-autobiographical book about an intern on the Hill, who wrote a tell-all blog about her sexual exploits - which in the end got her fired. A very light read. Whether it's enjoyable or not, I'm not sure. At first you start thinking .. oh wow, that's so cool .. or she's so cool .. that she has such a great, exciting life .. but in the end, you can't believe that you could have thought such a thing. In the beginning, there is that .. because the writing style tends to be that sort of show-offy, crowing about my great life/stuff/men .. but towards the middle it changed. Especially when it was clear that this person (the character in the book) couldn't or didn't see what kind of a person she was and didn't learn anything. I use the word learn loosely as in most books, you would like to see a marked difference from the beginning of the book and the end of the book - and not just have it go on from start to finish in the same manner. There was also a feel that the character waved away every problem or didn't deal with it. Going "Oh well .. maybe it's for the best" and moved on to the next thing immediately without a second thought. It's hard to like a book when you dislike the main character. no reviews | add a review
