I typically enjoy celebrity tell-alls, but this was not one of my favorites. For me, Karrine did not come off as the least bit likable. She seemed to blame her wild life and mistakes she made on her upbringing. And while she may not have had the best childhood, there are plenty of people who have had equally poor upbringings, yet have gone on to become well adjusted and responsible adults. It was glaringly obvious that she had poor self-esteem, but I still found it difficult to feel sorry for her...

Even though the sensationalism in this book didn't shock me, however, it was a very engaging read. I read it in less than 24 hours because I always wanted to know what was going to happen to her next. I think my only concern with this book would be those younger, more impressionable ladies that might read this book and instead of learning from Karrine's mistakes, might somehow look up to her as a "shero" of some sort. She paints a very exciting, yet destructive lifestyle and I don't reccomend this book to young ladies under 16 years old.

I was so not impressed. I read A LOT and this book was a complete waste of my time. this book is about her bragging about all the high profile guys she has "Done" and does not really touch on child she neglected and how she has over come her abusive life.

I am surprised I was even able to finish this book. The woman really needs to get a life, be a better parent and stop writing trash!

This book started out strong, and fizzled out toward the end. The big problem is that she constantly states that her book is a cautionary tale for young women, but she really doesn't seem to learn any lessons or change her behavior. She was treated poorly by most of the men she slept with, but never decided to change her behavior. If it wasn't boasted as a cautionary tale it probably would have been more entertaining, instead it's frustrating because the reader is left waiting for her revelation/change of heart/whatever and is left with nothing but the same behaviors with weak justification. Again, if it was just her personal memoirs, it would be a mediocre book with a sad story, but her insistence that she learned some kind of hidden lesson makes it seem like a waste.
