Young White House intern Jamie McAllister is drawn into an affair with President Gregory Rutland and soon finds herself, and everyone she cares about, facing calculated public destruction at the hands of Greg's political enemies, and--perhaps no matter how much he cares about her--at the hands of Greg himself.

Review of 'The first affair' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I didn't really know anything about this other than the title and that the authors had written the Nanny Diaries which I had enjoyed, so I was surprised to find out just how much this was based on the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton scandal, just updated for the modern era. I liked it and I liked that I didn't know where the story was going or how it would end because when the Lewinsky/Clinton thing broke I was just young enough to know what was going on without being consumed by the media attention.
