I just finished reading Washingtonienne, a fictionalized account of Jessica’s experiences working in Senator Mike DeWine’s (R-OH) office. I was at work when this story broke in the DC, then national, press. It chronicles the life of a young woman who blogs about her sexcapades while working on the Hill. I picked up the book since I’m a political junkie; however, I was left wanting, just as a high wears off and you’re looking for your next fix. The book was enjoyable just for the “I’ve been there” moments, especially as she drinks caffeinated beverages at Murky Coffee off of 7th Street in SE. I’ve spent plenty of time and money in this exact coffee shop. But, the location dropping, like name dropping in many books, seems more an afterthought than an attempt to build atmosphere. The book is like a blog, but one that doesn’t have much content. I wouldn’t recommend buying this book, but I would say browse through it at the bookstore or library to take in the wonk-sites of DC.
