Truth & Beauty: A Friendship
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


The highly rated reviews this book received (as is listed in the intro pages) is well deserved. Nicely written, I am glad I read Lucy's book Autobiography of a face first, so I knew her story & what she went through. She does come off as child-like in her insecurity & neediness, I found it a bit unbelievable that Ann & Lucy's other friends never ditched her in her desperation for validation. A person can only do so much for someone in need, & unless they are your child...well, my patience would have run out. I mean, honestly, what grown woman (Ann) would tolerate another grown woman (Lucy) climbing up into her lap like a child & asking repeatedly "do you love me?" & in PUBLIC no less?? REally?? maybe this part was fabricated, I dont know, but I took it as really happening. The friends pity for Lucy fed her insecurity in my opinion. But good book.
