Meet Adrienne Brown, a twenty-eight-year-old Wellesley
College grad who recently left her glamorous job at Town
& Country for a spot at the Capitolist. Known
simply as the List to Beltway insiders, it’s the only
media outlet in D.C. that’s actually on the rise. Taking the
job means accepting a painful pay cut, giving up perks like
free Louboutins, and moving back in with her parents, but
Adrienne is certain that her new position will be the making
of her career. And it is—but not at all in the way that
she expects. The Capitolist runs at an insane pace:
Adrienne’s up before five in the morning, writing ten
stories a day (sometimes on her BlackBerry, often during her
commute), and answering every email within three minutes.
Just when it seems like the frenetic workload is going to
break her, she stumbles upon a juicy political affair,
involving a very public senator—and her most competitive
colleague. Discovering that there’s much more to the
relationship than meets the eye, Adrienne realizes she’s got
the scoop of a lifetime. But should she go public with the
story? Inspired by Washington insider Karin Tanabe’s
experiences at Politico, The List is a riveting debut
novel bursting with behind-the-scenes details about what
happens when media and politics collide.
