Praise for Hope Never Dies:
An Official Summer Read of Publishers Weekly and The Interrobang
A 2018 Goodreads Choice Award Finalist
[Hope Never Dies is] a roughly 300-page work of political fanfiction, an escapist fantasy that will likely appeal to liberals pining for the previous administration, longing for the Obama-Biden team to emerge from political retirement as action heroes. But it s also at times a surprisingly earnest story about estranged friends who are reunited under strange circumstances. Alexandra Alter, New York Times
It s a giddy premise, a bit of Resistance wish-fulfillment for those who d like to see Biden and Obama trading one-liners and cracking skulls. New Yorker
While readers are sure to get a kick out of the codenames and inside jokes used playfully throughout, Hope Never Dies is an intriguing saga that doesn t sacrifice momentum for winks and nods. Entertainment Weekly
It s easy to imagine that if these fist-bumping brothers were ever to become a modern Sherlock and Watson, the world might be a better, more interesting place. USA Today, out of four
Obama and Biden are the ultimate crime-fighting team in Hope Never Dies. Washington Post
