A couple weeks ago I put out a call to read along with some campaign ladies and me on the first ever CampaignSick book club as we review Laura Heffernan's Poll Dancer. According to Google Books, the description is as follows:
"When politics meets pole fitness, Mel's life flips upside-down.After Mel's disastrous promotional video goes viral, a "family values" group launches a protest against her dance studio. Their leader isn't just trying to stop her from teaching--he's using Mel as a moral scapegoat for his own senate campaign. If he wins, he threatens to change the laws to keep all pole dancing out of their community. Mel's not going down without a fight. Because running for office beats unemployment, she decides to face off against him. She hires a campaign manager and tosses her hat in the ring. There's just one problem: voters don't get pole. Now Mel needs to change her image, fast. If she can't get the people on her side, she won't have a business to save. To make matters worse, Mel's campaign manager Daniel is giving her some very UN-professional fluttery feelings. Who knew the hardest part about running for office would be not losing her heart? Fans of My Fair Lady will love this fun, witty twist on a classic."
Note: Major spoilers in the video above, but if you've read long or you'd just like to see what we had to say please press play and enjoy the first ever edition of CampaignSick book club. Special thanks to Ilana Kaplan and Candy Emmons for joining me!
