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.
