2.5 - 3 stars Given the list of Alyssa Mastromonaco's weighty White House responsibilities during the Obama admin., the storyline she recounts here devolves into one-too-many 'dear diary' anecdotes. I cut her slack because maybe she's embargoed from revealing details of what it took to execute policy & personnel decisions as a significant WH staffer. Or maybe the truth is she kept it "light" because she didn't want to burn bridges/ruffle feathers. Whatever..but for me there was too much discordance between the heft of her apparent WH responsibilities and the lightweight story she tells of those times.
