I could not put this book down. Two little girls who are growing up with their incredibly narcissistic mother don't know that not everyone lives like this. Their mom is manipulative to the point of abuse. I mean, she is really crazy. When their father remarries, she sweeps them off to Europe and tells them that he doesn't want them anymore, now that he has a new family. The girls try to distinguish between her truth and lies for much of their lives. A fascinating read.

I read this author's first book Chanel Bonfire and enjoyed it a lot. Although to be honest it was not my typical reading material. Yet, what I really liked about that book is the "rawness". Everything about the character to the story was exposed like an onion. Peeling off layer by layer added to the depth of the story. That is why I was intrigued to read the author's memoir. I wanted to get to know more about the author behind the book.

I did feel like I got to know who Wendy is as a person and not just a writer or actress. If I had to describe Wendy in three words I would say: "fearless", "intriguing", and "kind". Just like Chanel Bonfire in this memoir, Wendy does not hold back. Everything that Wendy experienced made her grow into a strong, independent twenty something woman. Yet as much as I did enjoy reading about Wendy's life I was not always focused on what I was reading. However this is a good memoir. I can not wait to read the next book written by this author.… (meer)

Chanel Bonfire was an amazing read. I’ve always been infatuated with reading true stories about people growing up with a narcissistic parent(s) so I knew I needed to read this memoir. I devoured this book in a matter of hours—I couldn’t put it down. I loved how in their own right both Wendy and Robin overcame their mother and their situation. The writing was flawless and captivating.
