From Library Journal
The tiresome story of the growing pangs of a privileged-but-rebellious child, this poor-little-rich-girl "fiction" rides on the crest of interest generated by Kitty Kelley's Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography (S. & S., 1991). Davis is forthright about the autobiographical nature of this book. In the voice of her characer, Carla, Davis appears eager to air all injuries suffered at the hands of her mother Nancy Reagan. Self-centered and unable to take responsibility for her life, Carla blames her domineering mother for her abortions, sterilization, and failed relationships. Her inordinate self-pity prevents the reader from commiserating with her. The tone is whiny and sarcastic. Curiously, even Nancy-bashers may find their sympathies slipping to the other side. Not recommended as a novel, but there may be reader demand.
