Great book.
Beautifully written.
Good reading. Very thought-provoking.
Deep.
Story of a self-absorbed ex-actress. They're a dime a dozen.
Interesting book. Short but did shed some light on the subject.
The book was a gift and the recipient learned a lot about the hardships faced by the author and how she overcame them.
Wow. Portia de Rossi's struggles were so heart breaking to read about!
Purchased for my wife, she loves this book and has read it multiple times. Says it's an amazing story.
I really enjoyed this book. I found her struggle with her eating disorder extremely interesting to read about.
(I wrote the following as a comment on the review by "margaret", but decided also to include it in the entire review section.)I don't usually comment on reviews, but when I read "margaret's I had to respond.
I loved this book. Incredibly well written, engaging and authentic.
What I find so enlightening is not the CrazyCrazy that plagues the girl with the eating disorder... That's been written about plenty.
Item arrived two days after purchase and the condition was perfect. My girlfriend is beyond excited to begin the book!.
This is a realistic look at how most women (from my experience) think and feel. The only difference is, Portia had the willpower to actually pull it off.
