"The truth of a life is the fiction that sustains it."
 .
 At a mere 211 pages this somehow managed to feel like the longest book ever written. It was so incredibly repetitive and I was sick to death of hearing how rich daddy was! The characters despite being based on real people were incredibly one dimensional and impossible to care about. By the end I was skimming just to get it over with, if it had been any longer it would have been a DNF.
