It was very much Scheana… The name dropping and taking on other peoples drama was very on brand. Nothing new if you have followed her on VPR or social media.

VPR is my guilty pleasure, and that's probably the only reason this book resonated with me at all. If you are a VPR fan, you will certainly appreciate all the little callbacks and explanations - and, spoiler alert, everything you probably always thought about Scheana, in terms of her relationship with LVP, and her status as producer favorite/informer is true. There was an omitted Chapter 16 that promises the real, whole truth, and I'm more than a little annoyed that this review copy omitted it - but, if it really is salacious enough, I'm sure that the media will report on it when the book is released. This book made me feel more favorably toward Scheana than I ever have, and certainly did a lot to paint her in a positive light. Ultimately, she's a human just like everyone else, and she's made some mistakes and some silly decisions, and I appreciated that she owned them with this memoir. Solid read, if only for the VPR super fans.
