I read one of her previous books and was very surprised at how down to Earth and how hard she worked to achieve what she had. I was expecting the same greatness from this book. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The book has a picture of Katie on the cover and the title in small letters at the bottom. Down the side of the cover is the name Jordan, this has been put there ...
...entirely by Katie and not by her working status as Jordan. The back of the book has another picture of Katie lying on a pink background with some quotes by magazines saying what a good book this is. THE BOOK AND MY OPINION There are 9 chapter in the book.
