Review

It felt like I came across a diary that Angela has written for 27 years of her life: from teenage years through adulthood and middle age. The subtitle says it all – Angela’s Riveting Journey Through Luscious Romance and Rejection. It’s a story that focuses a lot on boys. While she did also discuss her passion about muscle cars and the struggles she encountered in school, the biggest chunk of the book’s content talks about sex and boys.


I like the tone of writing because she uses mainstream music to set the mood and she writes as if she’s right in front of you, telling her wild story about all the men in her life, but while discussing her romantic affairs, she could’ve also delved on more substantial things in life. I didn’t feel an emotional pull towards her tormenting high school experience where she was bullied by her own friends because this was overthrown by her sex escapade with boys. There could’ve been more important things to talk about, like her family, her daughter, or her career.


I’m rating this book 3 out of 5 stars. It’s a very light read that has potential. I think this story will appeal more to the younger generation who loves boys, mainstream music, and muscle cars.
