(My previous review mysteriously disappeared.) I remain flabbergasted that this "work" was published as it is. I guess relying on "the brand" for sales worked, but Random House and Markle should be deeply ashamed that the writing made it to the page as it is.

It was unbelievable to me that an editor--any editor--would let this "work" be published as it is. Then it occurred to me: they knew this book would sell based on "the brand" and so didn't even bother to try making it a decent read. The whole thing--the bidding war for the rights, the hype over its publication, the piles of money being made on this piece of garbage--is an insult to every writer who works at his or her craft. So disheartening.
