Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House by Lauren Oyler, Alyssa Mastromonaco

5.0

As a former paralegal who spent 8 hours a day dealing with corporate intellectual property matters I remember the very real feeling that my job was all at once incredibly stressful, important and too boring to fully explain to people I didn't work with. Mastromonaco has come close to writing the perfect political memoir by admitting that a job dealing with the details of running the White House share all of these same qualities.

I know some have knocked her for not writing a book that makes her sound a loaf and too important to be understood by the common masses, but I applaud her for writing a book that is true to who she is as a person.

I'll admit that she almost lost me when she started talking about her cats (cause I'm not a cat person) but it also just made me miss President Obama and the fact that we used to have nice people running our country.
