Who Thought This Was a Good Idea

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea by Alyssa Mastromonaco, 244 pages.
Drawing on her decade-long career working for Barack Obama, first as a campaign volunteer, and then through many different jobs, like Director of Scheduling and Advance, until she ended as his Deputy Chief of Staff. Mastromonaco is a clever and humane person and this comes across in her writing. Her admiration and appreciation of the 44th President of the United States comes across as well. She tells a lot of great stories that make going into politics as an aide seem like a really good idea. A great read for anyone nostalgic for the long-ago days of 2008-2016.
