It is a bit cumbersome to read, but she has one that is undeniably unique, that pronounces a sense of ownership over the things she writes.

    <body><![CDATA[I was surprised at just how shallow this book was.  I didn't enjoy the stereotypes or the characters who were almost identical to &quot;real-life&quot; celebrities, such as the big-bottomed &quot;jill&quot; who was a dead-ringer for Jennifer Lopez in her earlier years.
