Elvis and Prescilla’s relationship was majorly icky considering their age gap and power dynamics (enforced by age, gender, money, and Elvis’ general manipulation). I think Prescilla was trying to counter criticisms of Elvis as a master manipulator and drug addict, but to me (who only knows vaguely about Elvis’ substance problems and legacy), she failed in that mission. My dislike for Elvis grew as I read, and so did my sympathy for Prescilla. But, I did find the story very interesting, and it was SUCH an easy read, so it’s four stars from me.
