Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing | Allison Winn Scotch
15 posts | 15 read | 12 to read
Politics is a test of wills in a sharp, funny, and emotional novel about truth and consequences by the New York Times bestselling author. Cleo McDougal is a born politician. From congresswoman to senator, the magnetic, ambitious single mother now has her eye on the White House--always looking forward, never back. Until an estranged childhood friend shreds her in an op-ed hit piece gone viral. With seven words--"Cleo McDougal is not a good person"--the presidential hopeful has gone from in control to damage control, and not just in Washington but in life. Enter Cleo's "regrets list" of 233 and counting. Her chief of staff has a brilliant idea: pick the top ten, make amends during a media blitz, and repair her reputation. But there are regrets, and there are regrets: like her broken relationship with her sister, her affair with a law school professor...and the regret too big to even say out loud. But with risk comes reward, and as Cleo makes both peace and amends with her past, she becomes more empowered than ever to tackle her career, confront the hypocrites out to destroy her, and open her heart to what matters most--one regret at a time.

Like Cleo McDougal, i regret nothing! It‘s 59° outside, the snow capped mountains are in the distance and all is right with the world even though folding laundry needs to be done.
Reading vs housework: seriously, what choice is there on a day like today?

Cleo is a senator and single mom to her only son. After losing her parents and not having a relationship with her sister, she has prided herself on being on her own. Then Cleo‘s ex-friend writes an op Ed piece, threatening her rep, and run at the White House. Can she right her wrongs or will she repeat them? The premise of a Senator
out for redemption has potential for laughs. There is humor, but,the tone shifts when Cleo faces other decisions.

In this book, we follow Cleo McDougal, an ambitious politician, a senator, who wants to run for president. An op-ed from her former best friend claiming she's not a good person forces her to look at her past regrets.

It's an entertaining story with a little too much drama for me... and some repetition. While I'm interested in reading political non-fiction, I'm not sure this kind of political comedy is for me.

I read six enjoyable novels!

Finally spent time with my grandnieces but haven't been able to enjoy the backyard due to smoke from Calif.'s fires. Band rehearsals couldn't resume & on Sept.1st, I couldn't go to Maui, as planned. 😢⁣

Still, I have only blessings to count.

I wanted to like this more, but I couldn‘t find my way to liking the MC enough to say I liked it. But I liked it enough to finish it.

Cleo is a US Senator with presidential ambitions and a single mom of a teen. She‘s not always nice and she doesn‘t like to need help. When she tackles one of her biggest regrets, she sparks a #metoo type movement and has to deal with the fallout. Double standards about success are highlighted throughout.

“Cleo McDougal is not a good person. She does good, yes, but doing good and being good aren‘t the same thing, now, are they?”

A light and quick novel that takes a serious #MeToo turn in the middle to end back on a uplifting note. #ARC #Netgalley

This starts off as a light hearted story about a young, the youngest we‘re told time and again, female Senator that plans to run for president. I loved the idea and the omniscient narrator made it interesting. It turned into a bit of a Me Too story that ended up weighing down some fun characters. The author did a fabulous job of balancing what could have easily turned to male bashing with the choices women make, w/o compromising the message. 👇🏽

1. My big buckle cowgirl belt is probably my fav accessory
2. I just cracked open the tagged book, but am scrolling Litsy instead!
3. I grew up in the Sonoran Desert 🌵

EadieB @SoapboxEdits Just googled Sonoran Desert. Said it was the hottest desert. Were you in Arizona or California or Northwestern Mexico, Baja California, or Baja California Sur? 4y
SoapboxEdits Southern Arizona, Tucson to be exact. I didn‘t realize it was the hottest desert in Mexico 🥵! I don‘t miss the heat, that‘s for sure. The Sonoran is the only place Saguaro Cactus 🌵live 🤷🏽‍♀️Where do you live? (edited) 4y

Startin‘ my Kindle First freebie. They seemed a little lack luster this month. Maybe it‘s just me 🤷🏽‍♀️ They‘re offering two this month! I almost missed out, but thanks to @swishandflick I scored a second book 🤩

Prime members get two of the Amazon First picks free this month and these are the two that jumped out at me. I have yet to actually read ANY of them thus far (ha!) but if any of you have the willpower to resist downloading free books you're stronger than me. Cleo McDougal actually piques my interest though - maybe that will be the first I give an actual shot! 😂

mollyrotondo I am the same way! I have soooo many of these Amazon First Reads but have never read one. Uhh so bad 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y
keys_on_fire I‘ve read a couple. Maybe that should be my reading challenge for next year. I could cross off things on that list and they would all count toward MtTBR!! 4y
JenReadsAlot Same, but just keep getting them! 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I missed last month but they'll likely show up in Prime Reading in the future. 4y
SoapboxEdits So glad I ran across your post, I didn‘t know we could choose two this month! 😅. I read them now and then, last month had a good one. This month was a little lack luster, aside from the extra freebie! 4y
