• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I had to remind myself that while this book is based on a real person, it’s not a biography and is in fact a work of fiction.  I know a little about MM, but I think what surprised me the most was the drug use and sex.  I will have to see what autobiographical info I can find on her.  At any rate, the book seemed to be a sad story.
