The First Affair by Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin

(239 pages)

This was the cheesy book I expected it to be. Kraus and McLaughlin were the authors behind The Nanny Diaries, which I quite enjoyed many years ago.

Jamie finds herself as an overworked D.C. intern when the government furlough gives her added responsibilities. In an accidental run-in with the president during a vulnerable time, Jamie soon finds herself wrapped up in a full-blown affair with the president of the United States.

As everything begins to unravel around her, Jamie has discovered she has actually committed some major government crimes. She is now facing serious jail time, on top of the press hounding her every move.

Although this book was a thinly-veiled book about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, it was interesting to read about all the government and police interference after the affair was out in the open.

I needed a quick read that required little thinking. That's exactly what this was.
