Rachel works in the Trump White House taping back together all the important documents President Trump rips up, even though he's not supposed to. (This is based on a real job during that administration!) Well, she works in the Trump White House until she accidentally sends a critical email to a co-worker but hits "reply all" and the email gets sent to Trump himself. Then she gets fired.
Then she gets hit by a car.
But not just any car. A car driven by the President's mistress.
And thus begins this fast-paced, humorous story of lawyers, cheating spouses, and an imagined world where Melania divorces Trump because of his infidelities.
But despite the whole Trump thing being pitched to me as the main story, it actually becomes more of a background; something that spurs Rachel on to get a new job, become closer to her roommates, and fall in love. If, like me, you're expecting the Trump stuff to take center stage, you might be disappointed. The novel turns into a romantic comedy and then... ends.
I wanted a little more resolution for the Trump stuff, and a little more development for the romance stuff. And while I liked the fast pace of the story, it read more like a movie script than a novel. Lots of dialogue but not much action. I'm also not really sure what Rachel rescued.
While I thought the premise was interesting, I wanted more from this novel. It did not go in the direction I had anticipated.
Rachel to the Rescue is published by Mariner Books and is available to purchase now. I received a free e-ARC in exchange for my review.
