I heard about this book in referencing the waif side of Borderline Personality Disorder. This book was fascinating to me as I'd only seen the Princess as a Princess, and did not know how hard she worked (the tabloids) to maintain that she was a victim. It also gives a glimpse at B Palace, how formal every day life is and how dignified their responce of silence was to her wild accusations. When I see pictures of her I still think, "what a beautiful woman", it did nothing to tarnish that image of her; however I am glad that so many people shared their stories of her 50 phone calls a day and needing constant reassurance. There are 100 pages of references, it is a well documented and entertaining account.
