I was so unbelievably excited to kickstart my year of reading with Madam Vice Presidents memoir just as she's weeks away from being sworn into one of the most powerful positions in the world -- full of so much hope and promise. Unfortunately the book did not deliver; it read like a campaign speech that listed her accomplishments in a not-so-modest way. The book wasn't all bad tho --- I really appreciated the early parts where we got a glimpse of what her childhood was like with her Indian mother and all the community organizing she was surrounded by. I LOVEDDD all of that. And the chapter where she meets Doug and how their first couple of weeks unfolded... swoon! I love a good love story :)
Overall the book was underwhelming, but she has won me over in a number of other ways that I won't hold this one against her ;)
