This book certainly is not a light-hearted story about the life and times of Marcia Brady! In fact, the majority of the book does not deal with Maureen's time on the show, but her life after the show, which was at times bizarre, and at times heart-wrenching. Her family life was so strange, it was almost unbelievable. And toward the end, I had a hard time understanding exactly why she did not stand up for herself a lot more with her own family members; she comes across as a very weak personality. I hope she has learned something while writing this book. She seems to have allowed people to walk all over her, and lead her around (mostly in bad paths and poor choices), for her entire life. The book is a reasonably quick read. I started skipping over some of the detailed descriptions of drug use, because there was way too much - it seemed so exaggerated and over-the-top at times.
