I liked this, though I don't know if it'll be a reread like [b:Prep 9844 Prep A Novel Curtis Sittenfeld http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166071934s/9844.jpg 2317177] is for me. I like Alice as a character, and was able to separate her from Laura Bush, but Charlie was always George W. Bush no matter what, and I think my feelings about him got in the way of my being able to appreciate the actual character. Alice is essentially passive, which gets frustrating, but the book acknowledges that.
