VOTED ONE OF GLAMOUR'S BEST BOOKS TO READ IN 2018 The compulsively readable, behind-the-scenes memoir that takes readers inside the Obama White House, through the eyes of a young staffer learning the ropes, falling in love and finding her place in the world. 'Bridget Jones goes to the White House' - New York Times In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in Washington DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama's stenographers. She joined the elite team who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forged friendships with a tight group of fellow travellers - young men and women who, like her, left their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president. But as she learned the ropes of protocol, Beck became romantically entangled with a colleague, and suddenly, the political became all too personal. Set against the backdrop of a White House full of glamour, drama and intrigue, this is the story of a young woman making unlikely friendships, getting her heart broken, learning what truly matters and discovering her voice in the process. 'Who knew the West Wing could be so sexy? Beck's unparalleled access is obvious on every page, along with her knife-sharp humour... Lots of books claim to give real insider glimpses, but this one actually delivers.' Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada

I didn't get to page 80 in this book. The author is incredibly immature & annoying, especially for someone who's been out of college a couple years and taught school. She blew off the first interview for this job even though she was employed only part time and wanted to work FT. To be fair it was from a Craig's List ad and she didn't know it was the White House. Appalling that the WH pursued her after she blew off the interview and that they use Craig's List . But she got hired and passed the background check so off she goes, into the Oval Office and onto Air Force One. She's disorganized and likes to drink. She worries about wether people like her. Somehow she does the job well enough to keep it.
Her boyfriend and their relationship are equally immature. I don't know if they end up together but if they did, they deserved each other. Her descriptions of Obama and his top, closest staff are of dedicated hardworking people, but that's wasn't enough to keep me reading.
