How would Hilary Clinton’s life have turned out had she not married Bill Clinton? That’s the question explored in Rodham, a fictional book about one of the most well-known women in America.

⁣I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. As some other reviewers have noted, the sex scenes between Hilary and Bill were a bit awkward to read - given the fact that they are two real people who are still very much alive. Beyond that, I liked seeing how the author reimagined not just Hilary Clinton’s life, but American history as well. I’m afraid I can’t say much more without giving too much away. But if you’re a history buff or a fan of Hilary Clinton, this one’s for you.
