It was a quick read, though sometimes I was slowed down by the handwriting (the bubbles are printed in her own had which gives it a personal touch). Overall, it was a great book. It's going to be a tough review to write because there are little quirks and points I'd like to highlight, but it may be difficult without giving too much away. I'm looking forward to the challenge though. :) Actually just finished reading it today.

As a young woman, Laurie unconsciously mirrors her dad, trying on several outsized personalities (Tokyo stripper, lesbian seductress, Ambien addict). Later, she lucks into the perfect job–interviewing celebrities for a top women’s magazine. Growing up with her extraordinary father has given Laurie a knack for relating to the stars. But while researching an article on her dad’s life, she makes an astonishing discovery: he’s not the man he says he is–not even close. Now, Laurie begins to puzzle together three decades of lies and the splintered person that resulted from them–herself.
