Thankyou to NetGalley, Permuted Press and the author, Chris Formant, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Saving Washington in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.
I really enjoy the historical fiction genre which is why I jumped at the chance to read this book. I have to admit, sadly, that I had a lot of trouble reading it. I found no connection to the characters and struggled to maintain interest. Unfortunately not a book for me.

This book was written for the mass market, not historians or anyone familiar with American history. There are many situatuations and terminology that just aren't right. In the late eighteenth century there were no zippers on clothing nor had Baltimore clipper ships come into use. The places the black childhood friend went and how he acted did not seem realistic in a southern city such as Baltimore. The dialogue was just to twentieth century to be believable. Hard to stay interested in a book that has such agregious errors.
