why did she have all those marriages? for "love" and for pr reasons. that's it.

» READABILITY «
did not hate reading this, but i did not enjoy it.

» CHARACTERS «
I simply do not care about Evelyn or any of her partners. I also do not care about Monique. I really don't care about anyone in this book.

» WRITING «
the writing is fine, just wish it was more glamorous or flowery like the perception of Evelyn's life.

» OVERALL «
considering the praise and the fact that some thought this could be a classic, it could've been better. was kinda disappointed at the contents and writing style for this kind of praise.
