A review by kelseylovesbooks
From the Corner of the Oval by Beck Dorey-Stein
5.0
I received a Netgalley ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I straight up loved this book. I also straight up love Obama, miss him as POTUS everyday, and will forever be jealous of Beck’s job. As the White House stenographer, she had the opportunity to travel the globe with Obama for his second term and details it in this book.
I also love how real she keeps it in her book. It would be easy to gloss over the difficult, not-my-proudest moments when writing a book like this, but she doesn’t and it really adds to the real-ness of the story. If you miss the Obama administration as much as I do, I’d recommend this book. It will remind you that we made positive change in the past, and even though times may feel a little dark now, we will have positive change again in the future.
