If nothing else, Criminal That I Am will make you feel better about your own life screw-ups.

Truth be told, I had never heard of Cameron Douglas before I started reading this book so I basically went into this completely blind. Jennifer Ridha is a young, intelligent educated woman, brought up in a traditional family who gets caught up in the charm and excitement of Hollywood celebrity and makes a horrible mistake.
I found the writing to be refreshing, open and candid.
Thank you to NetGalley and Scribner for providing a digital copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Complete enjoyment reading this.Raises some intersting questions that have leaked into many conversations I've had in the past week.
Yes, there's a little whiing and yes, it comes from a place of privilege but she's reflective and smart. I liked her. I like her writing.
The Book of the Month judge who recommended this said "If nothing else, Criminal That I Am will make you feel better about your own screw-ups."-- true that.

I enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. I couldn't wait to find out how this beautiful, young lawyer got herself caught up in illegal drugs with Michael Douglas's son, Cameron. Once I got that all figured out, I lost interest.

I really enjoyed this book. The parts with her parents were the most touching. Unconditional love is a rare and beautiful thing and the author seems to truly appreciate that. Her parents sound like lovely people. I agree with other reviewers in that the author seemed to gloss over and/or entirely skip all but one of her friends' reactions and we never heard anything about the reactions of her employer, co-workers or colleagues. It is very well written and a fascinating story of how getting sucked into a manipulator's BS can truly ruin your life. It really can happen to anyone.
