Even if you don't agree with her political believes (which I don't), I hope you can still find compassion for her. Her life was REALLY hard and brutalEven if you don't agree with her political believes (which I don't), I hope you can still find compassion for her. Her life was REALLY hard and brutal and so extraordinary. Winning the 1976 Olympics decathlon, setting a world record .. that's AMAZING! That's something to be proud of and that's hard to achieve and only a small group of people can do that.
As I was looking at old photos of Bruce at the end of the book and seeing that photo with Chrystie right after winning I was thinking to myself: "What a hot dude and look at those guns, every men would want to be him and every woman would want to date him!" But reading about the moment the next day after winning, when Bruce stood naked in front of a mirror with the gold medal around his neck and thinking that now there really is no way out of this body.. that's heartbreaking!
I can't imagine living the life Bruce had to live, pretending that she is a man, when she is feeling like a woman. None of us could live like this. Society shouldn't punish people for something that wasn't in their power to cause. Socienty should stop peeking into someone else's home and judging them. Society should work on herself/himself. Stop hating and hurting people. Just STOP....more

But then it pulled me in and I started to appreciate her honesty plus I think it's a good book to read when you're going through a break up. Although I don't agree with the 'last hurrah' concept. And my God is Josh a typical manipulator. I dated once someone similar to him and I know how it ruins you. I know that feeling of total confusion when you can't find any reason behind such horrible behavior and when you constantly have to defend yourself for something you didn't even do. Once you go through such toxic relationship you really never want to go through it again and hopefully you learn how to nip it in the bud if you start dating someone similar. Put your foot down ladies! ;)...more

I know you might see this book as a silly book, but I liked it, because I felt that Holly was really honest when she wrote it. Everything about Hef is already disgusting but knowing that he is not even nice, he is not even the nice grandpa he seemed on the "The Girls Next Door" ??!! I am glad she spilled the tea about everything!...more
I really enjoyed listening this audio book. I listened it during my 16k run. It kept me interested and it distracted me from wanting to quit. I like tI really enjoyed listening this audio book. I listened it during my 16k run. It kept me interested and it distracted me from wanting to quit. I like the fact that Tina Fey read her book for this audio book, I don't like it when famous authors don't read their own books. Tina Fey is funny, witty, sarcastic, a real woman, successful business woman and it seems like a good mom too. She has her own opinions and isn't afraid to say them out loud. And I appreciate that. ...more
