If you want insight into Marilyn Monroe and how she thought, this is a wonderful book. I didn't know much about her real self before reading this, and it had a lot of great moments. You get to discover how observant and intelligent she was. Note that this was written in the 50s or 60s, so there are a lot of outdated ideas (especially regarding women and their relationships with each other, among other things), which is why I rated it the way I did. I still loved reading it, it's just important to think critically about those things. Another thing to note, this book ends with the line "This is where Marilyn's manuscript ended when she gave it to me," so there's no real ending and it's quite abrupt. It was fine, just unexpected.
