"Loved this story! Seeing someone rise to the top but yet suffer so much abuse was astounding. Carre's climb from the pit is inspirational. I loved her spiritual journey and her discovery of the power of celibacy. A definite read."

" Ok, 4 stars? Yes! 4 Stars! Not literature (doy) but a very readable account of a crazy life. Life Lesson: Do not marry Mickey Rourke. Just don't do it! "

" Poorly written, but inspiring story. Interesting to me as we are both from Marin, sane era, lived in SF, and she mentions names/places I know. Best part was the end and her spiritual awakening and finding of her real power. "

" Riveting read about her life. The writing wasn't amazing, which is why it got fewer stars from me - however I do not expect her to be a great writer. The stories she had were very interesting - I wish she had elaborated on some. "

" An inspiring story. I'm happy for her much-deserved happy ending. "
— Jennifer, 12/20/2011 -
" It was an interesting memoir and I applaud Carre for beating her demons. She shined a light into the modeling industry which isn't very pretty once you get beyond the magazine covers. She also spent a good deal of the book dissecting her unconventional and troubled marriage to Mickey Rourke. "
— Eve, 9/23/2011 -
" A before bed read. A version of escape. Bought it, so finished it. Respect her sharing her story. But ready to move on. "
