I originally imagined the movie Election when I first read about this book, and there was a bit of that in there, but it was so much more.

The heart of this story for me was the tense relationship between Angeline and her sister Cat. Once close, they had grown apart. Therefore, it was wonderful to see this out of control election put them on the same side instead of competing against one another.

Goldstein also incorporates ideas about the responsibility news and media outlets own their consumers, as well as reminding us that consumers have responsibilities as well. It's a reminder to be part of the process, working to have your voice heard in a productive way, and to engage in an authentic way.
