Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? is a book I enjoyed quite a bit. Alyssa Mastromonaco’s stories from her time working in the White House are sharp, funny, and surprisingly grounding. Her perspective on politics and her time working with Barack Obama offers a reminder that competence, empathy, and thoughtful leadership can exist at the highest levels of government. Reading it gave me a sense of perspective and, honestly, a bit of hope that we can move past the current moment and find our way back to something better.
