Review:
Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? is everything we've come to know and love about Alyssa over the decade we worked with her: brilliant, funny, grounded, and inspiring. Anyone who's interested in politics - especially young people - should read this book -- Dan Pfeiffer and Jon Favreau, former communications director and speechwriter for President Barack Obama This relatable memoir is packed with juicy on-the-road stories and crisis management advice, and presents a strong case for embracing a sense of humor in the face of humbling setbacks * Esquire * Mastromonaco's book is genuinely important . . . A fascinating insight into the corridors of power. It also proves that young, Veep-watching, cat-loving, wine-drinking, foul-mouthed women can make it to the very top * The Pool * A combination memoir and compendium of very good suggestions about how to get ahead - very far ahead - at an early age * Washington Post * Always fascinating and very funny, Alyssa's book is full of juicy stories from one of the world's most glamorous jobs -- Mindy Kaling A funny read and packed with advice on how we too might become the right-hand woman of the leader of the free world * The Times *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. If your funny older sister were the former deputy chief of staff to President Barack Obama, her behind-the-scenes political memoir would look something like this . . . Alyssa Mastromonaco worked for Barack Obama for almost a decade, and long before his run for president. From the then-senator's early days in Congress to his years in the Oval Office, she made Hope and Change happen through blood, sweat, tears and lots of briefing binders. But for every historic occasion - meeting the queen at Buckingham Palace, bursting in on secret climate talks, or nailing a campaign speech in a hailstorm - there were dozens of less-than-perfect moments when it was up to Alyssa to save the day. Like the time she learned the hard way that there aren't nearly enough bathrooms at the Vatican. Full of hilarious, never-before-told stories, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? is an intimate portrait of a president, a book about how to get stuff done, and the story of how one woman challenged, again and again, what a 'White House official' is supposed to look like. Here Alyssa shares the strategies that made her successful in politics and beyond, including the importance of confidence, the value of not being a jerk, and why ultimately everything comes down to hard work (and always carrying a spare tampon). Told in a smart, original voice and topped off with a couple of really good cat stories, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? is the brilliantly funny, frank and inspirational memoir from a savvy political star. The New York Times bestselling memoir of President Barack Obama's deputy chief of staff - like no political memoir you've ever read before.
