This book made me sick, and I don't know how I finished it. I cannot believe this woman wasted her time writing a book about her obviously spoiled daughter. There was no excuse for this girl's behavior, and maybe if her mother had set standards when she was twelve or thirteen, rather than wallowing in her own self - pity, none of this would have ever happened.Living in a slummy neighborhood surrounded by poverty and crime, it disgusts me to see such a privilaged girl living in Marin County, the wealthiest county in the United States, thinking she was so persecuted, when in fact she lives better than most children in the United States. Oh boo hoo, her mother was divorced, but so are about half the households in the United States, and I don't see my friends and classmates acting like slovenly whores, cutting classes, and participating in drinking and drug use.
