When I settled into read, I was like who is this clown, oh a TV executive. I was not thrilled at all. I decided to give it a go since it was right in front of me. I didn't pay much attention or feel invested in the book, as I was prepared to toss it away at any moment and write a snarky half assed review as I do when something is frivolous and boring. So I'm thinking about what's for dinner and what to read instead, and then IT PULLED ME BACK IN--WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?!
