Rachel to the Rescue

November 3, 2020
Understandably discombobulated after being summarily fired from her job in the Trump White House, Rachel Klein steps off the curb at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and into the path of an SUV driven by a woman who, it would turn out, is having an affair with the president. Regaining consciousness in the hospital, Rachel discovers that, in addition to her concussion and broken ribs, she's also become the center of a media and administration frenzy. Suddenly, she's getting flowers from Ivanka and interview requests from Buzzfeed. Parlaying this into a new job working for flamboyant muckraking journalist Kirby Champion and a new relationship with the cute guy in her neighborhood wine store, Rachel finds herself positioned as a key player in her boss' mission to get the dirt on Trump's affairs. With the light, frothy touch that her fans have come to expect from her witty comedies, most recently Good Riddance (2019), Lipman dreamily integrates the tastelessly tawdry world of the Trump administration with the upbeat buoyancy of modern love in this timely political satire.
