I just finished First Lady and I did enjoy it but I had psyched myself up for it for so many months that there was no way it was going to live up to expectations. I have read all of SEP's books and usually the book pulls me inside and I'm lost until I read the last page. Matt and Neally's story didn't do that. It still is a great book and far outshines most books I have read except other SEP's books like Heaven Texas, Kiss and Angel and It Had to be You.
