When patriot Mike rescues feminist Ricki from a post-Trump rally riot, the clash of opposites sets off sparks between them. But the gentleman giant refuses to leave the side of the spunky half-pint until he and his pickup truck deliver her home, safe and sound. Ricki attends the rally to scoop the racism of the Trump crowd in a blog post. But she's forced to spin a false narrative when her mistaken assumptions fail to materialize. When Ricki's lies get Mike doxxed, and his construction worksite becomes the target of anti-fascist thugs, his righteous anger forces her to reckon with the truth. Ricki wants to fix the damage and regain Mike's trust. But that means facing the wrath of the liberal mobs. Will Ricki find the courage to leave the left for a lifetime of old-fashioned true love?

Just googled this and saw all the glowing reviews. Sounds like a good one.

It is good. It's written in quite a conversational style, not at all academic. But equally it brings the fossils and timelines together in a very understandable way. He puts dinosaurs into their evolutionary context with other species. Eye opening.

Only have read Rankin when it comes to that vein. McIlvanney's stuff looks worthwhile though--thanks for the tip.  :)
