WARNING! This is NOT appropriate for early teens (who it is often marketed to), or anyone who has NOT dealt with issues surrounding sexual abuse. The abuse in this story is graphic, gory, and unsettling for many people with or without a sexual abuse history. This is a girlfriend tell-all story about the life of a little girl who grew up to become one of the greatest hip-hop whores of all time (that was the writers quote -not mine). The good news is that she woke up one day and realized she was a drug addict with a kid and she needed to get some skills. The lesson that wealth cannot be applied to the outside of your body before it is created from inside your self is the whole point of this book and it takes some awful turns before you get that message. If you are college age women you will find this a book amazing and sickening. If you are a mother you will find this to be a very sad and pathetic recounting of how bad life can get for so many young women. If you have any psychology or counseling background you will read a very sad story about a small child that is abused from her parents and grows into a thirteen year old girl that is brutally raped with no therapy, and then a sixteen year old runaway that using sex as a means to get love and who sells her body to the lowest bidder over and over again. We then see that girl get married and beaten everyday by an abusive husband who she has no will to leave. She then gets an apartment with the help of some people in the entertainment industry and then she really gets eaten alive. We hear the steamy stories of her affairs with the elite of hip-hop and is just gets keeps going from bad to worse as the drug habit and the money problems escalate and she ends up homeless with her kid. The majority of this book is about the horrible life a beautiful woman and party girl can have when she sells her soul and her body to the world. There are two chapters of hope in the whole book. The audio to this book was riveting and the author also reads the story so it really came across as a girlfriend tell-all.

I brought this book because I was intersted in what goes on in the entertainment industry. To my surpise, this book was really emotional and detailed about the author life and others in the entertainment life. I like that the author exposed what goes on behind close doors when the cameras aren't around. I didn't like the fact that the author traded herself for money and the materialistic lifestyle. I decided to buy this book because I wanted to understand how money can pursuade a person on how they live their life.
Overall, i think the book was pretty interesting. It went back to the Author's childhood which help to paint a picture of why she turned out the way she did. It could have had a lot more details about the rappers and what went on with them. I decided to purchase the book because I was looking forward to the juicy details about what rappers she dealt with but the book wasn't as detailed as I wanted it to be. The book was still a good read and I managed to finish it in one day!!!!!!!!
I liked when she talked about her life growing up and had wished that she had talked more about it. I thought that she got out of hand at one point she got out of hand with every man she looked at she wanted. There was also always a little suspense of what's going to happen next it took me no more than 2 days to read it. There was a mystery person in it who she kept a mystery the whole time and I would've like to know who that is. But all in all I heard there was a sequal coming out and i can't wait i am ready to read it. I also thought that the ending couldve been better.
I bought this book because I figured that it would be a good read. I'll admit, I was curious about exactly who she had slept with. Not only did this book answer my question, it also let me down. The thing that I disliked about this book, was how in the beginning she says that her goal for this book was to try and persuade girls to stay away from that lifestyle. And basically all the book revealed was "I blew that guy and that guy and slept with all of these guys" It was kind of a disappointment. Nowhere else in the book did she give out a positive message to young girls trying to show them what that lifestyle is about and how they should stay away from it. I will not be reading another book by her. There should have been a moral to this story, but on the last page all i got was ...I never slept with Usher again... Come on, really?Read full review
