Author Anonymous by E.K. Blair

This is a hard one to review. Really, I only bought the book because I'm nosy. I'm conflicted about things. Being that this is supposedly a true story, the graphic sex scenes creeped me out a bit. It's one thing reading it about a fictional character, but a real person...
I honestly can't see this author remaining anonymous for long. Someone is going to put 2+2 together. And although the nosy person in me is curious, the reader in me doesn't want to know, because I won't ever read her books again. That's how much I didn't like Tori/Victoria. And she's right, she is an attention seeker, and that's the reason this book exists. This story didn't "need" to be told. She needs more attention.
While the story for the most part was written well, some things did bother me. There seemed to be some mix ups at the author signings, and stories about the authors or bloggers, meaning the same name was used I beleive for 2 people and one person seemed to have 2 names. That really drew me out of the story and I had to go back to an earlier mention of this person to see if she was talking about the same person. The really long flashbacks in the beginning were just too long, and I'd forget what was going on in the first place.
