3.0 out of 5 stars It Is What It Is..., December 29, 2005
I'm willing to bet that the majority of us who read this book picked it up for one reason...to see how much dirt Nicole Richie would dish about her and her friends. If that's the reason, then you shouldn't have been too disappointed. It was a good effort on Nicole's part, but definitely not great literature, and classifying this as a fiction book is really pushing it.

While the writing is very juvenile, and there was hardly any plot to speak of, it wasn't an awful book. I do agree with another reviewer though who said the whole 'Nicole Richie as narrator of her friend Chloe Parker who really represents Nicole herself' was a bit confusing in the beginning. And while there are more flaws with the book than highlights, the story certainly keeps you entertained.

Overall, I recommend this for faithful tabloid readers, and fans of Nicole and Paris (I happen to be the former, NOT the latter), but don't expect literary genius. One of the best parts about this book was trying to figure out who each fictional character represented in real life, and if you're up on your tabloid gossip, it shouldn't be too hard. In the end, it was better than I expected, but I don't think she should continue to pursue a career in writing.

1.0 out of 5 stars The fact that trees got killed to make this book sickens me, January 10, 2006
This book and this "author" represent everything that is wrong with our dumb-as-bricks culture - rewarding people for being rich and stupid. How this was published when real authors are struggling just to get their work read is amazing. The publishing industry should be ashamed of itself.

3.0 out of 5 stars it is what it is, November 14, 2005
In a weaker moment, I bought this book because I really enjoy Nicole for some reason.

I'm not going to say I loved the book, but I didn't hate it either. When you buy a book by Nicole Richie, you're getting what you're getting.

The book is written in a very conversational way, which was good because it didn't stretch Nicole's writing abilities too much.

This book was really written for teenage/early 20's girls. So I'm wondering if the people who gave the book such bad reviews are in her target audience, because if you aren't, you're not going to like the book. Simple as that. If you're a Nicole fan, you'll likely enjoy it.
