I wanted to like this book. I really really did... sigh. And it wasn't that the stories/essays weren't good, but I got REALLY tired of the name-dropping. Oh, she was friends with Carly Simon, Oh, she was a guest on Oprah, Oh, she won the Gong Show, Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh.... shut up! *laugh* Some of it felt a little bit over the top. I dunno. I give this one only one eye-roll, but it was definitely annoying in places - I find it interesting because it got rave reviews on Amazon. I guess I'm just an irritable wench, eh?
