In this memoir, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff takes you into Trump Tower and the White House to tell the story of her intimate friendship with one of the most famous women in the world.
What The Reviewers Say
Melania and Me relates the (former) close friendship between the author and the first lady with almost alarming precision, using direct quotes, brackets and all, to back its narrative..
... for all the hype around Wolkoff having secretly taped Melania, her book is sedate, not tempestuous. It informs, but it lacks the bombshell revelations that can make this genre compelling or darkly entertaining.
... this is not a giggly tell-all.
If you’re down to rehash four years of Trump-related scandals from an ex-FLOTUS ally’s viewpoint, this is the book for you. Then again, that might be giving Melania and Me a bit too much credit for potential juiciness. Ms. Winston Wolkoff does offer some salacious details about life in the first family’s inner circle, but nothing all that surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention..
