Review of 'Shortest Way Home' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I've been intrigued by the well-spoken Pete Buttigieg since before he announced his candidacy for the 2020 Democratic nomination and saw he'd written a book. I actually picked up the audiobook version of the book, narrated by Buttigieg, and listened to it while I exercised, etc, and found that I had a hard time putting it away. Buttigieg's story, from his beginnings in South Bend to his unsuccessful bid for the DNC Chair is compelling. And one thing about him - he didn't shy away from controversy. He's one that is able to admit mistakes when the situation called for it. It's what makes him one of the most honest people running for President.

Definitely a good read! Now on to 2020!
