This was one of the dullest books I've ever read. It is so obvious that it's an angry daughter's revenge on her mother. I don't really understand her problem, though. What is she complaining about? That her mother loved her too much? Nonsense! She should have handled the whole mother issue differently. I don't think Miss Davis was a perfect mother, sure she wasn't, but she didn't deserve this either. BD writes about all the bad things her mother supposedly did, but hardly mentions the good ones. In my opinion, this book is quite a fiction as no human being could remember every conversation she had with such details cited here unless she has a mental problem. One thing I know for sure, though. Miss Davis loved being awarded, so the part telling how she despised her awards is a filthy lie. But the most ridiculous part is the big revelation at the end. I laughed very hard, I must say.
Complete waste of time and money.… (meer)
