While the premise is fun, a woman egged on by her high-risk students to run for the presidency, the constant hammering home of her heroism, her goodness and selflessness was repetitive and tedious. I disagreed with many of Remi's political viewpoints, i,e gun control, privatization of education, but her populist message about the impact of money and the media in politics was on-target. Overall, a political fairy-tale that could have been more engaging with a more fleshed out character. Thank you Edelweiss for allowing me to review this book.

Fiery US government teacher Remi Covington is relentless in her desire to impart the genius of the democratic process to her students. Her so-called "academically challenged" high school seniors sometimes find her enthusiasm more than a little annoying--so, in an effort to teach her a lesson, they execute a brazen, high-tech, social media blitz touting her as the newest candidate in the upcoming US presidential race. Much to everyone's surprise, Remi plays along with her students' ruse--and in a nation weary of politics and career politicians, she unexpectedly finds herself the darling of the American public. As the campaign takes on a life of its own, Remi is forced to confront a myriad of long-held social biases and cultural clichés, and realizes she isn't quite the woman she thought was.Vote for Remi is about a would-be a presidential candidate who, despite being all wrong--the wrong gender, the wrong party, and certainly the wrong social status--discovers that she might be exactly what America needs: someone with a passion for doing what is right.
