Review of 'Heads You Win' on 'Goodreads'

I should have known that this political/espionage thriller (or whatever it was meant to be) would not be my cup of tea. However I thought the parallel universe twist might make it more interesting. It was actually very boring, especially all those tedious campaigning chapters. I was so done with this book a week ago, but kept slogging on to the end to find out how it would resolve (listening at 1.25x speed to hurry it along). The ending was a dud too. What a waste of time :-(
