From Jo Piazza, the bestselling author of The Knock
Off, How to Be Married, and Fitness
Junkie, comes an exciting, insightful novel about what
happens when a woman wants it all—political power, a happy
marriage, and happiness—but isn’t sure just how much she’s
willing to sacrifice to get it.
Charlotte Walsh is
running for Senate in the most important race in the country
during a midterm election that will decide the balance of
power in Congress. Still reeling from a presidential
election that shocked and divided the country and inspired
by the chance to make a difference, she’s left behind her
high-powered job in Silicon Valley and returned, with her
husband Max and their three young daughters, to her
downtrodden Pennsylvania hometown to run in the Rust Belt
state.
Once the campaign gets underway, Charlotte
is blindsided by just how dirty her opponent is willing to
fight, how harshly she is judged by the press and her peers,
and how exhausting it becomes to navigate a marriage with an
increasingly ambivalent and often resentful husband. When
the opposition uncovers a secret that could threaten not
just her campaign but everything Charlotte holds dear, she
has to decide just how badly she wants to win and at what
cost.
A searing, suspenseful story of political
ambition, marriage, class, sexual politics, and infidelity,
Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win is an insightful
portrait of what it takes for a woman to run for national
office in America today. In a dramatic political moment like
no other with more women running for office than ever
before, Jo Piazza’s novel is timely, engrossing, and perfect
for readers on both sides of the aisle.
