Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First half of the book is straight forward and recaps MM’s background from her youth, family life and auditions.. The second half focuses on her relations with beaus, stages of her career, disconnect with her family and the turning point when she met Harry. The author’s observations focus on MM’s connections and mindset as she sees Harry as a stepping stone for career development, power and worldly introductions. As an opportunist she presents herself as a sympathetic listener who seduces a gullible Harry as she molds his thinking to reflect and support her own ambition. From a career standpoint the Prince will afford her opportunities to acquire financial gains and open doors for her delusional ambition of being more powerful than the royal family. She likes to hold court and discredits those who don’t conform to her narrative. She plays psychological games with Harry’s mental health issues related to his immaturity (as he hasn’t matured into an adult) and his inadequacy as the “spare”. . The author shows how MM’s intense agenda is a scorched earth scenario where she no one gets into the way of the actress … despite her notoriety. As a narcissist she is very manipulative and has no patience for British customs and principles (stay calm and carry on). She lashes out too easily as she) plans an escape to return to her old stomping ground in California. She expects the royal treatment from the entertainment elites to politicians as she positions herself as a so-called American “princess” … despite only being a duchess. Her descent into using others and wrecking havoc is sensationalism of the worse kind. Sadly, Harry remains her hostage. He struggles with emotions of the heart … until he can reclaim his life as he once knew it. Greed, status and ruthlessness are the hallmark of MM’s character and eventual downfall.
