Talk about a book that will make you re-evaluate what you read in the press. I was never a huge Tori Spelling fan. I didn't think she was a great actress and figured she only had a role on 90210 because of her dad. Basically, my opinion was shaped by the media and it was exactly everything they had said about her. How harsh. Then I watched an episode of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood and everything changed. I saw how real she was, and how funny she was. I thought her and Dean were great together and so cute to watch how in love they are. (Adultery aside...) So of course I wanted to dig deeper and read her books. I read sTori Telling in 2 days. It's hard to put down.

Though I can't relate on any level really, I enjoyed an inside look at what it's like to grow up in Hollywood with a crazy mother. And I do mean crazy. I read the details of her first wedding in horror; all of her mothers' shenanigans left me disgusted and wondering why she didn't just tell her mother to go take a hike.

I can see why someone who wasn't a fan of Tori's could read this and think she was playing her sympathy card. But I hope if you do read it that you do so with an open mind. It changed my opinion of her entirely and I consider myself a fan now! I'm glad she wrote her book and finally stood up for herself. It's something she seems to have taken a long time to learn over the years and I think she is an amazing woman for finding the courage to do so and live her life without regrets and for her happiness!
