Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win was one of those books that had me engaged from page one. Many of us are discouraged by the current political divide in our country. Jo Piazza channels that frustration into a candidate that we can all get behind. Even though Charlotte and Max were multi-millionaires they seemed real and down to earth. A couple that is relatable. I laughed out loud at their cross-country road trip. I cheered As the campaign continued on, I felt bad for Charlotte. She was working hard to achieve her goals and I don't think she got the support from her husband that she needed. However, there were times that I didn't like Charlotte. Some of her decisions were very bad and she was awfully demanding with expectations that weren't necessarily fair. I will say that I was pretty frustrated with the ending. The good news is that the book is primed for a sequel. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win was a good book, that I cannot dispute. Even though the way the author left it really ticked me off, I found myself thinking about the books and the characters long after it was over.
