3.0

Before I read this book, I saw reviews call it a sort of literary fast food—satisfying in the moment, but doesn't leave you feeling better afterward. Now that I've just finished the book, I'll second that take.

It was entertaining, as gossip can be. But don't expect it to challenge an mainstream assumptions. And I have no doubt there's some sensationalization happening in here, but if even a fraction of the content here is spot-on, well then that's just unsettling, really. The Trump administration is a complete shitshow and this book gives you one angle of behind-the-scenes context in what we see play out on the main stage.
