    This book is one of the most amazing books I have read. It touched my heart the way she talks about family and even made me cry. The book made me feel as though I were talking to a friend. Just beautiful.

    Thanks for writing this book. As a retired middle school counselor, I hope many young girls will read your book while they are still in control of their choices.
  • Honest, but very boring ramblings

    None of the information this book gave me seemed relevant or necessary. Some parts were really interesting while others I thought, "she must have nothing else to write about.", however learning Bristol's side of things was very eye opening. I really hate Levi Johnston after reading this. I can see this book relating to many young girls, especially here in Alaska, her story is very familiar.
  • Thank You Bristol

    I went into this book wanting to know her side of everything that has happened but only ended up reading a young girls rambling. I'm not saying this because I don't Like her or her mother but because this book is nothing but a public version on of her Diary. I'm sorry all this stuff happened to you Bristol but you did have a choice whether you wanted to displayed in the public eye or not. Maybe now that you've grown and matured some you'll think before you act and respond and not let others control your life especially Now that you have a child.
  • Great read!

    I just finished Bristol's book and it was a refreshing memoir. It seems pretty obvious those giving the book low ratings did not bother to read it and others missed the point. She made a lot of mistakes and admitted them freely. She is sharing her story in hopes it with inspire other young women not to make the same mistakes she did in staying in a dysfunctional relationship for so long. I also love how she overcame the situation she was in by taking full advantage of opportunities that came her way. Why not? I found Bristol's book inspiring and full of hope.
  • Thank you Bristol : )

    I loved every page in this book! Thank you for opening up your life and giving us a true account of what it's like to be in the public eye, even when you haven't asked for it. Your story is encouraging and brought to life that even when your presented with an obstacle, turning to God and family can help get you through anything.

    I can think of no author to which I have felt so happy to give a royalty to. The book is an excellent read that is difficult to put down. I think many people will find pieces of themselves in the life of Bristol. She shares the mistakes and pain of her life in an unvarnished account of a young woman who is suddenly catapulted into a malicious storm of liberal politics. However, along the way she talks about the mistakes she has made in her life and the pain of a young woman desperately trying to change a man that she can not change. When Bristol was thrust upon the national stage, I was appalled. Not that people objected to her mother's politics but that people could be so violently malevolent towards a 17 year old girl. I have always felt protective of Bristol as if she was my own daughter and I cant imagine what could make people be so nasty to young teens and children. The liberals especially seemed to shed everything they supposedly valued in women's equality, fairness and common decency for the sake of politics. It made me utterly sick. I was eager to learn the experiences of the children so malevolently assaulted in that manner and hoped to hear a good outcome from the story. Although Bristol has much of her life ahead of her I can now feel good about her future and not the dread I feared before. Tripp, make sure you take care of your mom. She will need you. Bristol, I don't have to tell you what to do as you already know. Be assured that you can do anything you choose in life. Choose well. -- Robert Eugene Simmons Jr. -- Writer for American Thinker, Senior Software Engineer and most importantly father of 3.
