YAWN. What a dull read. I can't believe I made it all the way through. Nothing special or meaningful or lessons you can take away. The writing style sucks. What can you expect from someone who was hungover through all of her college classes though, I guess? I will avoid all future writing by this chick. The author of the story is seriously unlikeable. "Oh I was thin and popular but I still didn't like myself so I drank even though I was on the college cheerleading team and in a sorority and dated a ton and had balls of friends. Boo hoo for me." Thrilling.
Read all the 1 star reviews on Amazon and they cover every issue I had with this lame book.
