Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: My First Five Husbands..And the Ones Who Got Away (Hardcover)

Loved this book! I stayed up all night and finished it. I could not put it down. Rue is such an interesting woman and her writing style is such that you feel you are chatting with a friend. A very honest friend who loves men! Rue has led such an incredible life - I am glad she chose to share it with us.

Absolutley amazing! I couldn't put this book down. I have been a fan of Rue's for a long time, but I never quite realized just how much she has been through. This book is a must have! I love her honesty, and her sense of humor shines through brightly!

I knew very little about Rue McClanahan except what a talented lady she was. This filled me in a lot on the other side of this talented lady whom we miss so much.
