Based on a true story...
I haven't read past the first chapter of this book but I do know the author. I'm not calling this book pure fabrication, but I also know enough to question it. My then girlfriend was room mates with Brianna when she had that job as an executive assistant. I know that her 6 months working as an executive assistant were not spent in a cottage by the beach. She lived with 3 other room mates in a house next to a man-made lake in the city of Lake Forrest California. I don't know why she was fired, but I do know that she called out sick once or twice a week. I don't know what her mother was like, but it was her mom that moved her stuff out of the house when she left. I don't know what she had against us, but she told the neighbors that we were physically abusing her and that she had to move for her own safety. Since she spent all of her time holed up in her room we didn't know what she was talking about, or why she was telling it to the neighbors, but she hadn't paid rent in 2 months and we were glad to finally look for a paying room mate. Again, lots of the stuff in this book probably happened in some form or other, but the parts I can corroborate don't jive with what happened. I wish her well and good luck, but it's hard to see something you know is not true without commenting. So, I hope the readers enjoy this book. Though I can't recommend it, I'm sure it's entertaining. Read with a grain of salt.
