Now, her every move is under a vicious magnifying glass, and her life feels like it's falling apart. On the road to reelection, the passionate bond between the congressman and the journalist gets tested at every stop. Threatened by shameless media sensationalism and jealous exes, Brady and Liz now have to learn to trust each other despite what they read in the papers.

"A bit more on the challenging side of things, this MG book explores the very serious and hard side of divorce and its effects on children. While this story is needed, it's not a very fun book to read. It's hard to read and see the reality of the effects of divorce on children in this book at times. <br/>Of course, it's difficult to read about the hard truths about divorce and its effects on everyone in this book, but especially on the kids. This is written from the perspective of the 12 yr old daughter of divorced parents. Justine and her little sister, Bea, have to go back and forth between her Mom and Dad's places as they live with her Mom and their Dad gets them every Wednesday night and 2nd weekend of each month. Justine's mom has very serious anxiety and has to take medication for it. Justine's mom's anxiety also manifests as a need for control and she feels that their father and older half-sister are not good for Justine and Bea so she enlists Justine to get evidence so that she can have sole custody of Justine and Bea. Justine, of course, wants to have her mother's approval, and such so she writes notes about her Dad's unfit parenting behaviors and so forth until something happens and she creates a serious and outright lie for her mother's case, and then she begins to question herself and her mother and their behavior. <br/>Justine has to learn how to deal with the complicated relationships and family dynamics with the divorce. Then ultimately she has to learn how to get up the nerve, to tell the truth after she created the lie no matter what the consequences may be.<br/>This is enlightening, depressing/saddening and heart-wrenching to read and see the serious side of the negative effects of divorce and these types of situations on children. It's necessary and good for kids to see and read this especially if they're going through this type of thing so they can see they're not alone. It's also good for parents to see this and realize how their actions and words etc can affect their children in this type of scenario as well.<br/>Thanks to NetGalley and OwlKids Books/OwlKids for letting me read and review this thought-provoking and heartfelt read. All thoughts and opinions are my own."
