Synopsis

The Capitol Hill aide who scandalized Washington, D.C., with her blog has now written a sharp, steamy, utterly unrepentant novel set against the backdrop of the nation's capitol.

When Jacqueline Turner's fiancÉ gives her two days to move out of his apartment, she has no choice but to leave New York City and crash with her best friend in Washington, D.C. She needs an exciting new life--not to mention real employment. Where better to get a fresh start than the nation's capitol?

Alas, D.C. turns out to be a lot more buttoned-up and toned down than she'd hoped. It's a town where a girl has to make her own excitement--and Jacqueline Turner is just the woman for the job.

From the married presidential appointee who gives her cash after each tryst to the lascivious Georgetown lawyer who parades her around like something out of Pretty Woman, Jackie's roster of paramours grows so complicated that her friends ask her to start a blog so they can keep up. But in a small town like Washington, the line between private and public blurs very easily, and Jackie quickly realizes this blog idea may be more than she bargained for.

Deliciously gossipy and impossible to put down, The Washingtonienne is every bit as steamy and outrageous as the real-life exploits that inspired it.

Goodreads review by Joy on August 23, 2007

Pick up the book, read the first line, and you'll know whether you are going to love or hate every word. It's a quick and easy read, but beautiful and nasty at the same time, everyone's dirty little secret. Fantastic... Lets face it girls, this is a much more accurate depiction of Washington than any......more

Goodreads review by Lain on December 02, 2007

Somehow the standards for fiction and memoir are different. In a "real" story, I expect things to be a tad disjointed and unresolved in spots, and I will even tolerate a certain amount of poor writing. After all, the author is somewhat limited by the facts (unless he's James Frey). In a novel, howev......more

Goodreads review by Angela on June 10, 2012

Jessica Cutler worked for Senator Mike DeWine (yes, from my state). During her time on The Hill, she spent a lot of time in clubs, taking drugs, having sex and barely eating. She kept track of all of it in a blog. She was fired for having the blog, basically. It's hard to know how to feel about a boo......more

If you're curious about how 'easy' girls were (are) in DC, this will give you a good idea. Not a pretty picture of upcoming generations.......more
