Subhead of "a true crime thriller" nothing thrilling about it and who knows how much was true. It retells the story we've heard in a hunded printed "insider" views. Maybe better called "a collection of well confirmed gossip." Reminded me of how much has not changed about "the male view" in our culture except that we now aren't spared any of the details when the stories come out. Disappointing if you are hoping for some new insights on this sad tale of trauma and addiction, malpractice and hero worship.

The title was misleading. I thought the book was going to delve into the mystery of her death. Was it suicide or murder? Instead it was more of a biography.

It’s too bad someone felt it needed to be labeled true crime thriller in order to sell more copies. It’s not. It is a biography. What wrong with that?

3.5⭐️ This book was good and it didn’t feel like i was reading an actual real persons story. But Yeah it was very interesting.
