Stephanie Winston Wolkoff
Number-One New York Times Best Seller
What Melania wants, Melania gets.
The former director of special events at Vogue and producer of nine legendary Met Galas, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff met Melania Knauss in 2003 and had a front row seat to the transformation of Donald Trump’s then-girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond. As their friendship deepened over lunches at Manhattan hot spots, black-tie parties, and giggle sessions in the penthouse at Trump Tower, Wolkoff watched the newest Mrs. Trump raise her son, Barron, and manage her highly scrutinized marriage.
After Trump won the 2016 election, Wolkoff was recruited to help produce the 58th Presidential Inauguration and to become the First Lady’s trusted advisor. Melania put Wolkoff in charge of hiring her staff, organizing her events, helping her write speeches, and creating her debut initiatives. Then it all fell apart when she was made the scapegoat for inauguration finance irregularities. Melania could have defended her innocent friend and confidant, but she stood by her man, knowing full well who was really to blame. The betrayal nearly destroyed Wolkoff.
In this candid and emotional memoir, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff takes you into Trump Tower and the White House to tell the funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of her intimate friendship with one of the most famous women in the world, a woman few people truly understand.
How did Melania react to the Access Hollywood tape and her husband’s affair with Stormy Daniels? Does she get along well with Ivanka? Why did she wear that jacket with "I really don’t care, do u?" printed on the back? Is Melania happy being First Lady? And what really happened with the inauguration’s funding of $107 million? Wolkoff has some ideas....

Could have been better

The author claimed to be a good friend of Melania for many years and to know her quite well. We know from the start that author felt wronged by Melania and we may feel that she is going to do her own throwing under the bus as regards to Trump's wife.
The author lost a lot of creds with me with her admitting that she never voted before the first Trump election, as she was just not a political person. (And the rest of us are?) Furthermore, she got on the Trump bandwagon and finally voted and campaigned for him because she was friends with his wife. (We may feel at this point a bit thankful that she had refrained from voting previously!)
So, this book might quite possibly inform you:
--Were the author and Melania really great friends? What was this friendship like; was it reciprocal?
--Whether there is much more depth to FLOTUS than Melania herself projected? (Hmmm, I really want to tell you my opinion!)
--Is she as lacking in warmth as some suspected?
--Is she a poor victim or just a woman whose marriage is purely a business deal--or is she really in love with Donald?
--Does the author tell all, bash Melania, throw her under the bus--not a foregone conclusion as you and I may suspect.
--And even after feeling totally betrayed by the First Lady, the author still kissed up to her. Why is that?
So, if you have any interest in this only somewhat interesting subject, the book will explain things for you. If you care, that is. It is not revelatory or earth-shaking, I regret to say.
Narration by the author just so so.
