The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy

I did not like The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy at all.  I added it to my "to read" list because it was someone's #1 must read for the summer.  I skimmed over the synopsis, and it seemed like it could be decent.  I was mistaken.  It's a true story of the author's life.  I get that life can stink sometimes.  I just didn't like her attitude toward things.  When a gay, married woman gets angry with people because they call her female spouse her wife, that just makes no sense to me.  I get that she sees herself as the wife and not her spouse.  However, getting angry at people about this is just absurd in my opinion.  I say cut people some slack just like you'd wish they'd cut you some slack about certain things.  It just really summed her up as a person it seems.  She did not seem like someone with whom I would be friends.  I feel for her because she went through some very horrible experiences, but to always look on the dark side doesn't help anyone in the end.  I give this book 1 out of 5 stars.
