Some Girls: My Life in a Harem by Jillian Lauren
2.0

Some Girls: My Life in a Harem by Jillian Lauren, a Kindle book I began reading on August 27th. It's almost with irony that I had finished reading Mary Forsberg Weiland's Fall to Pieces memoir only to pick up a book with the same she-power, gritty, but selfish tone that same day.

The intimate, confidential detail of the Brunei "household" was awesome and reminded me keenly of other girl-exclusive, catty environments I've sojourned in the past when I was Jillian's age and, similarly, come out alive and alot wiser. All the other parts of the book (with the exception of the quote about taking semi-professional photographs at the age 19, which was uncannily creepy) were pretty vampy, whiney, and self-righteous. A mountain out of a molehill.
