When I first saw this in a book store I was Like Do I really want to read this?, in the end I did end up buying it and I read it in one day, it was that good.
This story is about Chloe Parker's struggle with fame, drugs, and romance. I found it to be a page-turner and always interested in what was going to happen next. I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this book.
It gives you an insight into the live of people in the spotlight and what can really go wrong if you don't have people in your life to keep you grounded. I've read reviews from other people saying it was badly written and wasn't that great, but there where just as many good reviews as there where bad ones.
Really enjoyed reading that novel,I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Nicole Richie's but also anyone else who is looking for a good read.
Three questions that arise from the reading of this book:
1. Who knew that Nicole Richie wrote a book?
2. Did she actually write it?
3. Should anyone care?
I suppose this book may be interesting to those who find themselves fascinated by the lives of the rich and marginally famous. I'm sure that if you're familliar with Richie's circle of “friends” you'll recognize the “characters” in this book as some of those people. If you enjoy vernacular writing, with that particular vernacular being “catty and vapid,” this book may appeal to you.
I am none of these. But I did at times find the book to be raucously funny - Richie's descriptive prowess (or her ghostwriter's) is astounding (another reviewer commented on one of my favorite lines, a reunion being “bittersweet - chocolate, that is”). She's so completely self-absorbed, self-conscious, and self-centered that the narrative gives the reader a fabulous idea of what it must be like to spend time with the “real” Richie, how she speaks, and how she sees herself - and others - in her world.
Complete intellectual morphine.
