Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Cutler, the lowly Senate staffer who rocked the Capital last year with her salacious online diary, rehashes her ride into infamy in a tart, shallow tell-all that begs off as fiction. Smart but spoiled Jacqueline heads for the Hill after a broken engagement in New York. Soon this party girl is cavorting through the Capitol, where shameless flirting and sex appeal take her a long way. In Jacqueline's opinion, government is "Hollywood for the Ugly," and she coasts on her looks to score a fluffy job in a senator's office and effortlessly entice politicos on the prowl. She mines her dizzying array of casual sexploits, dished in callous, raunchy detail, for a blog to keep her friends in the loop ("I was a bitchy slut and so were all of my friends. Why not put it out there?"). Jacqueline winds up on D.C. gossip site Blogette—prompting her abrupt dismissal, an underdeveloped bit of soul-searching and lots of media attention. The flimsy garb of fiction makes for one coy striptease: just how much of Jessica emerges in Jacqueline? Who are the real-life counterparts to her paramours? For those who can conjure last summer's scandal, the reprise will liven up this year's beach batch. Agents, Michael Carlisle and Pilar Queen. (June)

From AudioFile
Cutler's book is a lewd, boisterously smutty, funny, observant Washington tell-all. Reader Dia Shepardson injects her narration with a wild and woolly devil-may-care abandonment, and a dizzying pace that keeps up with the amorous adventures of Washington intern Jacqueline Turner, whose nightlife supersedes her activities on the Hill. Shepardson slows down a bit to coyly but cynically show Jackie's decision to put it all out there in a blog, which scandalizes the Capitol gang, gets her fired, and ostracized. However, it also makes her a media darling with a book offer. If this sounds familiar, it's because the author blogged her sexual exploits last year and ended up in the same sweet spot as her heroine.
