Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

In university, Elyse Gibbons forges an unlikely friendship with two young women who are the campus celebrities and whose lives are polar opposites of her own humble roots. Elyse is driven to make the world a better place and embarks on a political career, soon finding herself the rising star of the Democratic Party. However, her success comes with a price. Her relationships with her friends, her boyfriend, and those circling her path are tested, destroyed, or strengthened amid the inner workings of political life.

The author of Favorite Daughters has created an intricately woven tale of friendship, love, and betrayal. The protagonist discovers the joys and trials of her ambitions, and I was firmly drawn into her life and adventures, wanting to know more. Adding to the intrigue was the unique situation of three young women, all connected to politics and placed in the difficult predicament of choosing between friendship and family. The novel held my interest throughout, and I felt a strong connection to the protagonist. The ending left me with the impression that there could be more to come in the life of Elyse Gibbons, which would be a very welcome treat.

Sublime Line: “Favorite Daughters is a finely-tuned and intriguing novel about love and betrayal along the rocky road to political success.”
