Disadvantages: depressing

I found this book in our local charity shop for a £1 its original price should have been £7.99. I dont usually read biographies, but something in the title intruiged me.

...but is not believed. The girls only repireve is when they go to visit thier Aunt. The thing which touched me is Jenny has included family photos in the book, these photos say so much that words cannot, the expressions on the faces, the body language being portrayed its all there, the photos upsset me more than reading the book.

I picked up 'Keeping it real' on Ebay for 1.60p,which I thought was quite a bargain,as if I ...
...I also thought that the title 'Keeping it real' was a bit of a laugh due to the way Jodie looks!..sorry! I achully take that back though after reading it thoroughly. You may wonder who Jodie Marsh is?,Well shes basically a girl thats famous for partying all night,having strings of relationships with celebrity men and basically rivalling Jordan in the 'How much flesh can you flash'? stakes. This book promised to be juicy reading,and it certainly ... Read review
