Mehso-so

I was excited about this, because there aren't many Obama staff memoirs written by ladies, and I was looking forward to her unique POV. Beck was a stenographer for the administration and traveled all over the world with POTUS. She has some nice reflections on that, but 60-70% of the book is about her sad, self-destructive affair with "Jason". Not really what I was hoping for, should've got this from the library. ?

8little_paws I might listen to this on audio while working. Background noise that I don't have to hang on every word. 6y
SarahSaysRead @8little_paws That would be a good approach. 6y
Blaire I‘ve been sort of interested in this one, because it seems like the perspective of a lower level staffer is kind of unique. Def sounds like borrow not buy. 6y

Continuing on with my Obama staffer memoirs, I think this is a good one. Pat's lays on the adoration for his former boss a bit thick, but he did a good job of telling stories that taught me a bit more about how White House press works. He talks about the delicate but important relationship the President has with the press, how it's difficult but necessary, and both sides need to do their job.

How is there still not a "currently reading" sticker option? Anyways all of these are very good so far.
