I will say it’s a sad life for anyone to endure. Only on page 36, by now putting it aside has become the norm for me. Do I keep reading, hoping her life gets better, so I can continue reading more wretchedness? Or ditch it now and move on to something else? Because she’s just making *me* miserable. And I don’t want to willfully be made miserable.

Dismal, depressing, I didn’t expect every single chapter so far to put me off reading this poor me, my life is just one very fkd up family, one disaster right after another. Published for nothing but money, and spilling unnecessary private crap after crap after crap. Anddd: money. Demi must need some. Or a lot. I felt bad for this stranger during and after the whole Aston Kutcher debacle; but just lie low already.

Thirty-six pages of blah, blah, blah that should’ve been cut and rewritten by the author down to one to give at most. Ugh.

The boredom is so never-ending, it’s unbearable. This is the editor’s fault. I’ve been a book editor and department head for three imprints all at the same time, for a long time, and I would never allow this. Rule number one: if it’s written by a lauded (*cough* *cough*) author or celeb: LEAVE IT ALONE. If it’s horrendously written by a bestselling author: I’M the one who has to rewrite this pile of shit.
