A little slow at the start then as I got into the patients stories I couldn‘t stop. Cried like a baby.

It was so scary I couldn‘t read a lot at a time. I had to take breaks it was so intense. Four famous authors go to a supposed haunted house for a live interview and what happens after is actually where it all kicks off. At first it was a little slow but then once it got going it didn‘t stop for one second. It‘s going to be a tv show on Showtime and I‘m so amped!!!!!

Reminded me of Chuck Palahniuk. Fast paced and amazing scary visuals.

I get to read and hear about podcast? Sounds like a win-win to me. When it first started I didn‘t know if I would be into it but as soon as it jumped off I couldn‘t put it down. There were stories within stories within stories within stories. So many layers to this novel. Absolutely recommend it. It had action, drama, comedy and mystery.

Listened to the audiobook read by her, she did an amazing job.
Overall interesting and I‘ve always loved her but it seemed to get pretty slow at times.
A good amount of stories were a little longer than needed maybe.
If anyone‘s a fan then it‘s a definite listen, it‘s just not as good as other memoirs I‘ve heard the last year.

Love the writing but didn‘t care for the plot. 3/4 in and I was like what is going on? The end was semi satisfactory. I‘ll read more of the author but man I hope the overall structure of her books improves.

At first it seemed boring and too many characters but as soon as it jumped off it stayed good. My only issue was two things: 1. Constantly calling one character fat the entire book! She was a whole 30 lbs overweight 🙄. 2. Having a horrible brat of a teenager run her mouth with no repercussions the whole time 🤬. I recommend skimming the Frances parts. Still it was a lot of fun like desperate housewives kinda, without the murder and nonsense.

mcipher I liked the bratty teenager! My son is worse. 😂 The fat thing, yeah. They did harp about it. 6y
TofuandBooks I‘ve had other people‘s kids do it to me and boy oh boy that gets me! I grew up with a tough dad and there was no guff allowed lol so I just hear his voice all the dang time! 😁. And right? It‘s like she‘s not 600 pounds in a scooter back off! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 6y

Beautiful book! Amazing pictures, old magazine and newspaper clips and of course epic love stories. Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller, Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton and Clark Gable & Carol Lombard are just a couple of my favorites. Colorful, captivating and re-readable.

Pretty good over all, I really like her chapter on pit bulls. A lot of it was non stop medical issues and that did get a little old I think because the book wasn‘t what I expected. I did love it though and I love her more now than ever.

Finished this awesome book while sharing my bed with two cats and three dogs (these two just happen to always be closest). Great book!

Completely engrossed by every story but the last one I hated. The stories keep running through my head, they are haunting. It‘s like esops fables mixed with Grimm fairy tales. I love her writing so much, she is now one of my favorite authors of all time and I will read everything she writes.

Love her and loved this book. I love to hear people who fought for what they have, she earned it that‘s for sure.
Her narration was like just talking to her. It surprised me when she broke down and cried over her fathers death, having lost my father younger it hit me hard. Definitely a quick and fun read/listen.

Grayc I felt the same when I read this. I laughed, cried and just felt a since of pride for and her courage to open up about her life. She is always very private about herself, family...etc. 7y
TofuandBooks I was surprised she was so open about so much. I love her so much and I can‘t wait to see her new movie Proud Mary. I will always support her work! 7y

I listened to this one quick. I loved hearing it in the authors voice. She is extremely witty and smart. I loved every second and I laughed often. I share pretty much all her beliefs so of course that helps. If you lean more liberal this is the book for you.

Didn‘t love it as much as hot & heavy or things no one tells fat girls. This was more about her past than about her quitting dieting or body issues. I didn‘t care for her narration, often it was like listening to a teenager. It was at times shallow and immature. It didn‘t really get much deeper than the surface of the subject. Still inspiring overall.

What an amazing writer. I was completely blown away. I‘ve never read anything like this. Her writing is her own style. I loved every chapter except the last, I thought it was boring and went on too long. Also hard to relate to being with someone when they have a significant other. I felt no sympathy or connection to that part of the book.

This book was way better. Still weird and shocking but at least in this one people are sex slaves by choice and want that life. The first three made me uneasy how they were forced into it and then grew to love it like Stockholm syndrome! Really good end though I have to say.
