The Story:

I started reading at work and finished listening to the audio in bed. The author's voice was quite strange in the narration. I’m not sure if she was giggling or slurring but, I found it distracting. I’m not sure where this story was supposed to go or if it actually got anywhere. ( )

First of all this is an essay that Amazon pawns off as a book which I feel is misleading. The story is about how Jessica broke up with her boyfriend and met a big time movie star who wined and dined her. She thinking he was single was ok, but then finds out he is not. What else is new. ( )

I love Jessica Simpson. I couldn't name any of her songs, but I love her honesty, about herself and the fame industry. This very short story was a free Kindle First book, and exhibits all of her trademark honesty. ( )

We (and I mean ‘me’) delude ourselves into thinking famous people are wordly-wise and generally savvy. Here’s a short story that brilliantly punctured that thought bubble. In real life, Jessica Simpson is not Daisy. And it has the advantage of being true. It also reminds us how cruel and debasing the “movie star” industry can be. ( )
