I'm not sure where I bought this book, or why I bought this book, but I read it. It was considerably more well written than I anticipated. The subject matter was interesting and engaging, without being terribly gross....let's face it...Hugh Hefner was kind of gross. I've read some reviews about how Holly Madison makes it seem like she wants people to feel sorry for her, but also not feel sorry for her because she is special and everyone else is a whore, but she is not. I didn't really get that impression, but I think that she may have tried to make herself feel a certain way about her experiences. It was a far better read than I anticipated.
