Editorial Review:
Devlyn Marlowe, the first woman President of the United States, has just been elected. Breaking with the tradition of hiring a political writer to chronicle her administration, President Marlowe selects one Lauren Strayer, a professional biographer with a reputation for absolute honesty. Theres a slight problem with Devlyns plan, though. Lauren wants nothing to do with what she sees as a political hack job. It takes some serious persuading, but the Commander-in-Chief is an eloquent negotiator, and Lauren reluctantly agrees to take the job, provided she truly has editorial freedom. So armed with her computer, her incredibly ugly Pug, and a fair bit of trepidation, Lauren finds herself in residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. There, amidst the harrowing and demanding life of the First Family, Lauren begins to understand and eventually love the complex woman who is both leader of a great nation and loving single parent to three rambunctious children. Funny, realistic, romantic, and endearing, Madam President is rapidly becoming a modern classic.

Rating:  - Movie Script material.
This book combined with it's sequil "First Lady" would make for an amazing movie packed with action, angst, humor, tradgedy, and BTW it's also a love story between two women who also have a family.
Rating: - Love Politics!
Madam President is a great book! It has all ingredience that a great book should have: Humor, love, and a plot! I really enjoyed this book and it is one that I will read again! Cooper and Novan are an excellent writing team...their styles blend nicely together. If only we could have our own President Marlowe...the United States would be better off!

Not only is she a woman, she's an out lesbian too. She hires biographer Lauren Strayer to do her biography. The two women have wildly different political views, Lauren is recently divorced, and Dev's wife was recently killed by a drunk driver. Add all that together and the talented team of Cooper and Novan have ... Read More
Rating: - Pure Romance
While this book and its sequel "First Lady" may not be filled with the drama or edginess of TV's "The West Wing"; it does have romance that is set against the backdrop of the White House and the difficulty the demands of presidental responsibility and media attention place upon a relationship.
Both books use the technique of chapters representing months of the year and within are contained snapshots of moments; tender, tense, humorous, frustrating, soulful and chilling. They become ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
I've read this book twice now and i adore it. I won't go into details about the actual storyline, see other reviews for one, I'll just tell you how the book made me feel. It made me feel like I feel when I'm in love. It made me feel that I'd somehow opened a window on someone else's world, a world that felt as real as my own. I couldn't put it down. It's a wonderful novel about a true deep abiding love between two women. A warm, funny, touching and wonderful hearwarming story that you just wish ... Read More
