Is this book worth finishing? I'm only on the third chapter and wonder if it's worth finishing.

Natalie It is really sort of boring at first, but it is worth reading. I realize now she was setting the stage for when they totally screwed her at the end. I found the author self-serving. She talks about her self so much and is constantly name dropping. However, at the end she talks about how she was under a non-disclosure which restricted what she could say. Towards the end she is not subject to that condition. In the end i came to believe that she wrote the book simply to reestablish her reputation she had been viciously maligned by the trumps and her friend Melania did nothing to help or support her. A cold awful human being.

Pat NO! It does not get better and there are no redemptive parts to this book. I listened to the audiobook from the library, I am so glad I didn't pay for this. My only regret is the waste of my time. More whining and continues to suck up to Melania even after Melania threw her under the bus. Pathetic.

Judith Lafata It is a speed read. Not that interesting. A lot of author self-serving. How anyone could continue to be used that way and still come back for more is beyond me!

Cody No, skip to the last chapter if you care and you'll understand the whole book no problem.

Katherine Hearn This was the worst waste of time for me. I kept thinking it would get better but I finally gave up. That's hours of my life I'll never get back :(

marlenea autio I think Stephanie is incredibly naive. She worked for the Trump's three years without a contract. Trump basically got free work out of her. Melania is as soulless as Trump and lacks any moral compass just like Trump. They are shallow, mean, dirty, frauds.

Mary Thomas Watts Yes, it picks up steam as you get into the details of the inauguration planning and the author's time in the White House. I was surprised at how well this book was written and by the author's candor about herself. If you're looking for a lot of dirt, this book doesn't deliver, but Winston Wolkoff does confirm that the Trump White House, from the start, is the s--- show we have come to know.

HS The beginning is very boring and the author's style is anxiety-inducing. I would say in the middle it starts getting interesting (around Ch.5?) and if you really are in a crunch for time, just read Ch.10 and 11 (the last 2 chapters).

For me the book revealed (once again, like so many books about the Trumps) that they are criminals and have stolen so much money from the government (taxes) and donors that they should be in jail for life. And it makes me want to not pay any taxes ever again.

My take on the book is that while it comes off as whiny, she is limited by her non-disclosure agreement. So it just seems like a spat between girl friends. I think what really happened behind the scenes is only implied, and I will talk about it more in my book review.
