Summary: Bland
Comment: Abis life became a relentless round of PA's and photoshoots. I know she was trying to emphasise this but unfortunately it doesn't make for very interesting reading. Ego pours from the page. Her(infrequent)attempts at humility just seem phoney. Only the last couple of chapters delve a little deeper into the effects of fame and its frustrating this isn't explored for longer. I do think this could have been an interesting peek into the world of media and celebrity and perhaps if Abi had written it herself (I'm sure she could she seems a lot more intelligent than most of the slebs on the circuit) the book would have been a lot less bland and patronising. On the plus side she names and shames and there were a few snarky comments about other people in the public eye.

Summary: A Must Read!!!!!
Comment: This is a BRILLIANT, MUST READ for any body interested in the fame game of the 21st century. A wonderfully written and self-effacing look into the rise of a normal nurse who's life turned, over night, into the full on front page fame and shame of the media... A sex symbol, a front page glamour girl, a stolen private video star, with celebrity boyfriends and all the twists and turns of life in the public glare, this book has the lot... The horror and joy of being a 21st century icon and all the pitfalls along the way.... Enjoy!
