Drake Prescott was that kid; you know the type. Both an athlete and a scholar, he was determined to achieve his goals and dreams, the most important being elected president of the United States.

Until he meets her.

My early thoughts about Incumbent were not wrong. This book was wonderful. Drake is this honest, intelligent, passionate man who happens to be a politician. Lucy is a teacher who went into teaching for all the right reasons! These are 2 honorable people in a world that loves to tear you down. Their story felt real to me and I wasn’t expecting that. I also wasn’t expecting the tears but this book did make me cry a little. The other Prescott siblings are amazing as well and I cannot wait for their books! (I totally think Gretchen and Mason will get together!). Joanne Schwehm has managed to write a beautiful book about a world that isn’t always beautiful. While you do get to see the ugly side of politics the book was still different from what I expected. You figure out early on what will most likely happen, and even seeing it coming, I was still surprised by a few things.
