The title describes this book well; it's about the sex scandals of various US Presidents, with leaders from a few other countries thrown in at the end. It's a fun read, entertainingly written, and raises some interesting thought. If you enjoy this sort of thing, check this one out!

I really really enjoyed this! Fun, slightly salacious, completely different view of history than you're used to.

Loved this book! First non-fiction read. I can’t wait to read again and take notes. I do question how many of these presidents had open marriages.
This writers style is so interesting to me. She’s so direct and pointed during the book, but also had so many funny one liners. So serious about the ramifications of sex outside their marriage, so funny about politics throughout the book.

I received a free advanced reading copy of this title through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This nonfiction title was a great peek into the lives of our presidents (and other government officials) and the sometimes scandals, sometimes best-kept secrets that affected their lives and careers. I would recommend for readers who like narrative nonfiction and/or are interested in American history.

This was fascinating and I learned more history than anything I learned in school. My only issue was with the language the author used to describe some of the women - she definitely seemed to blame them for some of the affairs.
