Just two days since its debut, reviews for Ivanka Trump’s latest book, Women Who Work: Redefining the Rules for Success, are in. She is the US President’s daughter.
The reviews are not great. In fact, some are downright brutal. A sampling: ‘Witlessly derivative’, said The New York Times’ Jennifer Senior. ‘A grab-bag of generic work-life advice’, wrote Emily Peck of HuffPost. ‘It is really vapid’, is the opinion of Slate’s Michelle Goldberg.
‘Trump’s lack of awareness, plus a habit of skimming from her sources, often results in spectacularly misapplied quotations’ said NPR’s Annalisa Quinn. For her part, Trump is playing up the positive, posting on her Instagram page a video of herself dancing at home with her two youngest children, with a caption touting ‘little moments’ and a link to an article about her book in Working Mother magazine.
