This is the first book I've read read completely as an eBook. Cait Flanders writes with a conversational tone that is hard to walk away from; it's almost like a new friend is telling you about how this project she just finished went. Her stories scattered throughout are the perfect balance of memoir vs way too much information about a stranger.
I found her shopping ban, her commitment to stay out of debt, and her dedication to her sobriety–and, in general, her dedication to become the best version of herself very inspiring. This is a wonderful quick read for anyone who enjoys self-help books related to saving money and walking away from consumer culture.
This was probably one of the easiest non-fiction reads I've ever picked up.
Dan Pfeiffer captures an interesting story about a young guy who sort of stumbled upon undoubtedly one of the most historic presidencies.
Simultaneously, Pfeiffer describes the frustration with the media and how he sees American society could come back from it.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to my politically-inclined friends.

As a college student, I studied many of the events that Ben Rhodes discusses in his book. I found his storytelling very compelling and easy to read. It was not overrun with minute details, while still giving what came across as an honest depiction of what life working in the White House was like.
It was so good(:
Not amazing, or breath-taking. The plot-twist was kind of sad :/
Um. The whole Mount Blessing religious cult is kind of cool, in a weird way. I'd never read another book about one before. Kind of blew my mind, to be reading from a brain-washed point of view [Agnes:]. I'd recommend reading it, definitely.
