I read this book in two days! Tori Spelling seems like the girl next door you could be best friends with! She reveals interesting details throughout.
Especially riveting is the vacant relationship she has with her emotionally remote mother. Candy Spelling has around $500 million (apparently), but she can't bring herself to have any kind of meaningful and solid relationship with her daughter. Instead she appears to like to control every aspect of her daughter's life in the only way she can - with money. She seems to have a "I'll buy you what I like, but if you don't like it you can pay for it yourself and don't expect any more help from me - ever." kind of attitude. Case in point Tori's first wedding. After reading about it, it seems that this was Candy's dream wedding - not Tori's! No wonder Tori and Dean flew off to the other side of the planet (sans Mom)to get married!
Another intersting aspect of the Spellings is that they never seemed to teach Tori any kind of normal life skills - especially how to manage money responsibly. In many ways you can see how Tori was ultimately set up for financial failure by her own parents.
The only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars was because I felt that she skimmed over the ending - from the time she and Dean moved into the B&B. Instead she devotes pages to 'So NoTORIous'. She barely covers the B&B period in her life (which I would have liked to have read more about - there must be many funny stories that never made it onto TV). It seems as if she was in a hurry to finish the book, going on instead about how her life today is her 'normal'.
Good luck to you Tori (and Dean, Liam and 'Little Tori') and thank you for this very entertaining read!
Tori Spelling is a very interesting, funny woman. Buy this book ASAP! March 22, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. She tells a great story. I learned things about Tori that I didn't know. I love 90210 and have always liked Tori. She's a smart, funny person. Her book was very interesting. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended!
Surprisingly good - refreshingly glib March 19, 2008

Before this book, I didn't think much about Spelling, good or bad. She was just some vapid actress. Boy, has my opinion of her changed! As soon as I read the line "I guess guys who like football like to watch cheerleaders die" in response to her TV movie doing so well, I knew I'd like her.
She has a genuine sense of humor, and an outlook on life that would make anyone want to hang around her. Her cynicism is so refreshing!! She'll never get the respect she's earned, but she's definitely earned mine. She can stand on her own two feet (albeit wearing Jimmy Choo shoes), and she may have finally got it right!!
