I feel like she's sincere about the praise, but she's also terrified of the retribution she might face from the fans.

However, I’m continually shocked at how many famous men are child predators.

I think the lowest point of this book is that the author, his only wife, Priscilla, never seems to understand just how deeply terrible Elvis’ actions were. It was just so heartbreaking and scary, and I found throughout the book that I wasn’t rooting for the love story.
Even after their divorce, she said they were friendly, held hands, kissed, and acted like a family when they were together. It seems like she was never truly able to get out of his grip, even after everything and divorcing him. It was an interesting story, but also felt like whiplash. A good story, but disappointing to know the truth and see Priscilla be taken advantage of way too much.

Elvis took PP to the morgue as adventurous little trips
PP took lessons from Chuck Norris
When PP met Elvis she had JUST turned 14 and he was dressed like a target employee eating bacon sandwiches with mustard
He rented out entire movie theaters and roller rinks
They fully stood up on roller coasters
He died at the same age as him mom
PP refused to gain weight during her pregnancy and they were banging up until the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy
EDIT I’m bumping this up from 3 to 3.5 because I’m still thinking about it. That doesn’t mean it’s exceptionally well written but I think it deserves a boost for how long it’s lingered in my brain. Truly the morgue stuff is gonna be a permanent resident in my mind. I can’t believe that was real.
