My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other...
This book is bad. Really, there’s no way around it. I’m on about page 40 and I just can’t finish reading it. I’m mad at myself for wasting the money to buy this book, and I’m not really sure what I ever saw in a book that discusses someone’s sex life. Maybe I would have enjoyed the sections of the book where she talks about her cat, but it’s not worth...
