Bi-Partisan is a wonderful story that follows Congressman Jamie Montgomery's self-discovery in a heartfelt and realistic manner. All too often bisexuality is dismissed as curiosity or greediness so when I had the opportunity to read the first book in the District Love series by Dallas Smith.
Of course, it didn't disappoint at all and is one I will happily re-read and recommend to anyone looking for excellent bisexual representation. The characters are wonderful, with fears and desires that are both realistic and valid. I loved Jamie Montgomery, the political candidate whose 'right place - wrong time' situation catapulted him into the chaos that's fake dating on the man you're crushing on. He's the epitome of a gentleman and he deserves all the love he finds.
Because of course, Bi-Partisan is a happy ever after for our politician and his handsome veterinarian; Adrian.
Alongside the love story, the author gives us an excellent representation of how mental health issues, especially anxiety; along with chronic physical illness can impact people's lives on a day-to-day basis.
Something that is still lacking in fiction and media in general so to read it done with a gentle hand, made me love the book more.
This is an incredible book filled with love, and loyalty and is a testament to the fact attraction can come out of nowhere and capture your heart and soul. That loving someone regardless of gender is valid and that you're seen.
