Our American Friend by Anna Pitoniak
5.0
This was such a good political thriller! I never knew what was going to happen next and was always on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story.
Lara Cain asks Sofia to write her biography and as they become close throughout the story as Sofia learns more about Lara's past it is fascinating and worrisome at the same time. Lara is far more than anyone ever thought she was as she is always so quite when next to her husband the President.
What people don't know is that has a secret past of her own that has given her insight into the choices her husband is currently making. She knows things that she shouldn't but is also one of the president's most trusted allies.
I couldn't figure out why Lara was telling Sofia all of this until it clicked that Lara wants it known for some reason. But that reason is a mystery for most of the book and it isn't until it is all revealed that it makes sense.
This book jumps around between the present and the past as we learn Lara's story and Sofia pieces it all together to come up with the biography and the story of a lifetime that will change the course of history.
Overall I loved it and I cannot wait to read more by Pitoniak in the future!
The audiobook for this one is so good and was easy to follow along with going back to the past and being in the present.
