** spoiler alert ** I read this eagerly thinking she would be someone unbiased and more patriotic to our country as a whole and maybe a bit naive finding herself in a position where she wasn’t ready for.

I gave it three stars because I purchased this hoping for a believable honest narrative of someone who has a moral backbone that didn’t want to have to compromise her own integrity to stoop to the crookedness of a group of politicians.

She knew exactly what was going on at all times, and her ties and loyalty was mainly to Mark or “the Chief.��
Clearly, from the beginning of the book she was critical of all involved. She didn’t say anything she was concerned or critical about out-loud the whole time so more people shared with her details about the 6th. They confided in her. She didn’t want to be there that day and she didn’t have to go. Her mom begged her not to. Everyone knew it was happening, everyone knew it was going to “be bad…�� and they talked about it to her yet no one said anything beyond that? No one alerted FBI, bodyguards, riot police, Secret Police or other law enforcement? And if they did, it didn’t go anywhere or just fell on deaf ears? And the president knew!? Yet, the way it’s presented it is like the whole administration knew what was about to go down and every single one of them thought this was okay... Everyone was starstruck with Trump and thought this was all okay EXCEPT THE AUTHOR.
This girl was star struck. She got “in”and suddenly she was thrust into the world of games and mirrors. She was smarter than she presented herself at times with her narrative, and she knew fully what was going on.

What is the rub for me personally with this story? I don’t hear a moral conflict here with the author. I feel her accusations and finger pointing are just that. Finger pointing. No naive intern that was gob-smacked with what happened on the 6th and rubbing shoulders with secret but really corrupt politicians. She KNEW they were corrupt throughout the whole story. She also was critical of how everyone handled COVID and a few other newsworthy situations leading up to the election.
I felt like I just read a story about a planted mole and a spy that is giving the final report to her employer.
On the other side, I do feel the public is owed knowing what went on behind the scenes. We were given so many narratives on the different views of “exactly what went down�� that fateful day in history and this book is no different. It’s one persons view. Her loyalty was NOT for a political party and their stances on issues as a conservative. She has sexual harassment in here, she has some male dominance themes and a bit of nepotism. Her loyalty was getting in with higher ups, working her way up the ladder and once reaching it, lip service to the political elite not challenging their decisions necessarily, not voicing her concerns to anyone but her mom really. She puts on her best face and strong voice to defend her chief, and she has fire when it suits her. Well. Good job selling your book. You hooked me. But your integrity and honesty is in deep need of redemption because this reader thinks morally you should have put your big girl pants on a LONG time BEFORE January 6th. And you didn’t.
Is it a good read?
Yeah.
But read it (or listen) with a discerning eye (ear).
