Hardcover and Kindle edition
I have to admit that I usually don't read books like this. I don't really get excited about pop-culture drama-riddled people/stories. I just don't care. Everyone has drama. Everyone has problems. What makes a "star" any more special than anyone else?
I became interested in this book after seeing Prince Harry's interview on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper. All I can say is, holy shit. A lot of shit went down, and continues to go down with Prince Harry and his family. After watching that bit, I decided I wanted to read the book. I got on the wait list for the book from my library - it said it would be a "long wait". I happened to mention it to my friend at work and she just finished the book and said she'd bring it for me to read! Score!
So, I wear glasses. I need them to read. I sometimes pretend that I don't need glasses, then I'm squinting and moving the thing I'm trying to read all around to try and find a distance where I can read it (and often I can't). So, I got the book from my friend at work and tried to start reading it. Even with my glasses, the text looked like ants on the page. I could barely see it. This was also during the time where I was in constant pain and couldn't lay down without excruciating pain. So, it was tough to get into this book because 1 - even with my glasses I couldn't see anything very easily, and 2 - pain.
I didn't get very far very fast - I started the hardcover version on February 26. But then the Husband and I got new library cards for the new city we live in now (since October 2021) and they have WAY MORE kindle books available to borrow and I got on the list for this one and instead of the "long wait" from the other library, it was like a 2 week wait. So I got it on kindle and could read it comfortably with the big font setting! SCORE! I finished the kindle edition April 13
All I can say is, holy shit. This is some shit. There is so much in this book that had me shaking my head in disbelief, in astonishment. How can people treat each other this way? It's truly unbelievable. And sad. So much drama punctuated by a life that is a spectacle in the most public way.
