review 1: Actual rating 2.5I didn't pick this book up because I thought I would agree with the author's opinions and actions. I picked it up because it was so completely, totally, against everything I stand for, and wanted to see what she actually went through.To start off, I will say that I found it an enjoyable and enthralling read and so have to give it the rating I have. On the other hand I was rolling my eyes and very much disagreed with her on pretty much every single point she made. She also made me cringe so badly with her very overestimated flattering opinion of herself (and when you Google her, she does NOT meet expectations).So back to the things I didn't like. Personally I disagree with that sort of a lifestyle. She went drinking as much as possible, did drugs, smoked an... mored slept around. This is coming from a girl who has always been completely monogamous, hardly drinks and has never touched so much as a cigarette (let alone drugs) in my life. So there was that.Secondly, I am in my final semester of my undergraduate psychology degree, so I understand a fair bit about it. And, honestly, I have no idea how this woman could have been qualified as a psychologist by the APS and retained it. Even before her whole 'death to monogamy, let men sleep around' and 'open mindedness'business, she sounded so off the rails. I get that private time is private, I have no issues with that so long as I don't have to personally be around it or people like that in my life, but as a practicing psychologist she ought to have had some inclination about how things would turn out with her 'John', at the very least. Then there is the rest of the book to contend with!There is a lot more that I could say about this book, mostly in the negative, but I will leave it as is for now.To summarise, I was rolling my eyes and wanting to hit my head on the table for much of this book. However, I did very much enjoy reading it. I can't say I would actually recommend it, but it did keep me reading!
review 2: Very interesting story. Holly Hill is too old to be a sugarbaby (she's actually 39, not 35, like it says on the back cover) and she wasn't very successful. Her ego is ridiculously huge. (Have you seen pictures of Holly Hill? Look her up on Amazon. She compares herself to Angelina Jolie, but I'm not convinced.) Here's Holly's philosophy: monogamy is ridiculous. All men cheat. We should just be OK with all the cheating. Let's embrace it. Feel sorry for women who believe in fidelity. Ugh. This book is ridiculous. But it did keep me up all night. less

The next time I hear about sociobiology in the context of gender relations will be too soon.
