I liked the book a lot, however, the out of nowhere cliffhanger at the end of the book kinda forces you to purchase the next book. That felt like a dishonest marketing con job. I did not sign up to be conned. Well, author Tom Bross should know because he works in marketing. This cheat makes me question the whole narrative.

This book was very interesting. I got insight into Kathy's background and it was less traumatic than I thought. Although her parents drank they were higher functioning than I had expected and lived into their 90's. Mother Maggie was a few months short of 100 when she died. Her parents offered to send her to college and later even moved out to Los Angeles with her. She lived with them until she was 28 years old (FOR CRISSAKES!). I see that Kathy was bullied at school. Other students would bark at her for being an unattractive, "dog." She developed her sharp wit in part to fight back. She was determined to become a comic and spent many years preparing at levels below the D-list. She loved comedy and had a vision. Now why does she often vere into self-destructive attacks on others? It almost masochistic. Please, please stop. People can only take so much. There may be unconditional love in Heaven but hardly here. The book was well written. I gave it two stars because she went into too much detail about her fake romance with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, reprinting pages and pages of their email back and forth. It felt like filler to extend the length of the book.
