Description:

Meet America’s Tweet-Heart.

She’s network reporter Cassidy Shea, better known as @TwitterGirl, with more than a million followers thanks to her sarcastic tweets. One hundred forty characters that can take anyone down a notch.

But while brevity may be the soul of wit, it can also get you fired.

When a controversial tweet goes viral the snarky redhead finds herself locked out of the career she loves… and watches her boyfriend take a hike.

Alas, no industry values sarcasm more than politics, and Cassidy becomes a marketable commodity for Presidential candidate Will Becker, a squeaky-clean, stone cold lock to be the next occupant of the White House. This candidate is unlike any other; he’s the country’s most eligible bachelor. He’s also looking for a running mate, and we’re not talking about a Vice President.

Twitter Girl has caught his eye.

Cassidy finds herself swept up in a whirlwind romance that turns her into the next Jackie Kennedy and becomes the favorite to be the next First Lady. The country can’t get enough of America’s First Couple… will Cassidy and Will Becker bring back Camelot?

But an anonymous tip triggers her journalistic curiosity. Is Will Becker all that he seems? The search for the answer teaches Cassidy the meaning of love.

Review:

Well, this was an easy breezy story with a little drama and a slight mystery added on. The writing was fun and of course witty but one little issue I had with the story was after the mystery was solved the romance part and dialogue at the end was a tiny bit on the cheesy side.

The story is about 35 years old Cassidy Shea who found herself fired from her job as a TV reporter following a career ending tweet. Following an impromptu break up with her boyfriend, Cassidy suddenly had an opportunity to get another job working on the Presidential campaign for Senator Will Becker.

Becker is seem as one of the best hopefuls as President but he's also a very eligible bachelor who has caught Cassidy's eye but the attraction is mutual. However, she get a sort of vibe about him that something just wasn't right but she chucks it up to him being out of the dating game since he's a widower. It wasn't until she got a mysterious text telling her to look a little deeper at Becker because he's not as he appears.

In between being swept off her feet and being the nation's sweetheart she tried to look into the mystery. Finding information about Becker wasn't easy but after getting a little help from a few friends the information was starting to reveal itself.

And after an injury with Tyler, one of her friends and fellow campaign workers, Cassidy was also starting to realize that maybe Becker wasn't the right guy for her as well as for the country.

I thought the other characters in the story were interesting, Sam (Cassidy's younger brother and roommate), Ripley (her best friend), Tyler (her friend) and the Senator's daughters were also a good addition.

This was a fun and fast paced read that gives you a look at what goes on behind the scenes during campaign season. I like Cassidy she was different not a total girly girl or tomboy but some where in the middle. She was snarky and a total foodie. I would say Cassidy is a combination of Lois Lane and Eliza Dooley (Selfie). By the way loved the cover.
