I watched quite a few seasons of the reality show and she's one fine actress. I truly bought into her love and devotion to him and she sure seemed happy and content. 

 

Of course, that's reality tv for you!

 

I read Kendra's book and got the basic 4-1-1 on the real scene there but Holly's book sounds pretty intense. 

 

I bought it and will download to my Kindle as soon as it's released!


And thanks for saying so eloquently what I was trying to convey . . . I truly thought she actually loved Hef, that's why I was so appalled when she dumped on him like that.

 

The whole thing is gross.

Holly now has a daughter of her own.

 

Did she think of her before she wrote this book? Her behavior is now on the printed page...forever.

I was thinking the same thing.

She wasn't held captive like those poor girls in Cleveland! She made her choice. Like another poster said, "Own it".

I truly thought she was "one of the girls" and then truly fell in love with him.  I actually felt sorry for her watching some of the episodes of the show (I think her pet name for him was Puffin or something along those lines, please don't quote me on that).  I got the impression she left when she finally realized he would not marry her.  Apparently not.

 

Reading how she calculated to get into his inner circle and now completely dumps on him was more than a disappointing eye opener.

 

I agree Terrier, she has a daughter now.  This is not helpful for her future.  Go be a mom and stop trying to get your name in the headlines.  Your 15 minutes are up.

Well, this review was helpful to me. I won't be reading the book but it was never on my radar anyway😺

Holly's "behavior" is already on the printed page and there are videos too. This book sounds like her attempt to set the record straight. She acknowledges she was young and foolish. Her daughter Rainbow is young, so the book probably won't affect her except for the results of the proceeds. When she gets older and puts everything in perspective, this book will probably have no effect in her relationship or how much she loves her mom. It might even have a positive effect because Holly sounds remorseful.

Read this book and see if it makes Holly look good. She was a willing participant and did everything she could to alienate the other woman around Hef and the author speaks highly of Kendra as a nice person who never pretended to be in love with Hef but treated him with respect. They are all big girl's and chose the life style. I believe she wanted a child so she would be able to go to the bank. I have pre-ordered this book when it was first possible to get her take.

Remorseful? She lived with Hef for over seven years...

Kids can be cruel...Holly will be in the same position as Kim Kardashian...both daughters will have to live with their mom's past behavior.

Something tells me North and Rainbow will be living in a protected bubble as children to keep them away from the naysayers. I can't imagine either of them logging into the QVC Community to read the negative remarks about their moms.
