Meet Adrienne Brown, a twenty-eight-year-old Wellesley College grad
who recently left her glamorous job at "Town & Country "for a
spot at the "Capitolist. "Known simply as the "List "to Beltway
insiders, it's the only media outlet in D.C. that's actually on the
rise. Taking the job means accepting a painful pay cut, giving up
perks like free Louboutins, and moving back in with her parents,
but Adrienne is certain that her new position will be the making of
her career.
And it is--but not at all in the way that she expects. The
"Capitolist "runs at an insane pace: Adrienne's up before five in
the morning, writing ten stories a day (sometimes on her
BlackBerry, often during her commute), and answering every email
within three minutes. Just when it seems like the frenetic workload
is going to break her, she stumbles upon a juicy political affair,
involving a very public senator--and her most competitive
colleague. Discovering that there's much more to the relationship
than meets the eye, Adrienne realizes she's got the scoop of a
lifetime. But should she go public with the story?
Inspired by Washington insider Karin Tanabe's experiences at
"Politico, The List "is a riveting debut novel bursting with
behind-the-scenes details about what happens when media and
politics collide.
