Customer Reviews

A brutal, honest memoir

I loved this book. The author lays out her soul, good and bad for us. Some parts surprised me, some parts were relatable. Truly a fantastic memoir.

Horrible, horrible book.

This is an awful book. I threw it away. A first for me. The only solace is that I bought it used and she made no money from this purchase. The truth of the story is questionable at BEST. I’m order to post I had to give it one star. It rates in the negative.
