Eighteen Acres

A Novel

De: Nicolle Wallace

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

From the former Communications Director for the White House and current political media strategist comes a suspenseful and smart commercial novel about the first female president and all dramas and deceptions she faces both in politics and in love.

Eighteen Acres, a description used by political insiders when referring to the White House complex, follows the first female President of the United States, Charlotte Kramer, and her staff as they take on dangerous threats from abroad and within her very own cabinet.

Charlotte Kramer, the 45th US President, Melanie Kingston, the White House chief of staff, and Dale Smith, a White House correspondent for one of the networks are all working tirelessly on Charlotte’s campaign for re-election. At the very moment when they should have been securing success, though, Kramer’s White House implodes under rumors of her husband’s infidelity and grave errors of judgment on the part of her closest national security advisor. In an upheaval that threatens not only the presidency, but the safety of the American people, Charlotte must fight to regain her footing and protect the the country she has given her life to serving.

Eighteen Acres combines political and family drama into one un-put-downable novel. It is a smart, juicy and fast-paced read that we’re sure fans of commercial women’s fiction will fall in total love with.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed reading this book. It gave us a look into what it takes to run the White House from a aides prospective. How a president can rise above scandal with the help of the staffers.

It was good. Not necessarily great.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

those looking for something light. I liked how the author told the story from the perspective of three people.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

it could have been a bit tighter. Some of the narrative seemed long.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes, and that wasn't a good thing.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Netflix

A Good and Easy Listen.

I really enjoyed this book. It moved along at a quick pace and the narrator really did a good job. The authors inside knowledge of the West Wing was very interesting. I am looking forward to her next book.

Enjoyed

Soothed my Soul to hear a story about a normal White House and President. Ready for book2 in the series!

I liked the second book better

Any additional comments?

I bought this book because I liked "It's Classified," and I just didn't get into the plot as I did with the second book. Didn't finish it.
