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

2.0

I wanted to like it, but her narrative came off as annoying and uninteresting. The intentional lack of chronology in the book was also awkward - sometimes within just a few pages she would double back and forth across events without context. What I took away from the book were some neat anecdotes about President Obama, and Senators Sanders and Kerry. But I think she really missed the mark on her goal of it being an informative or instructional guide to political careers for younger women.
