beyond ugly November 13, 2008
I too read the first book, and was also going to buy the next book.but saw constance brisco on GMTV and was put off by the way she seemed very stern and cold. yes she has an bad upbringing. but others have aswell but are warmer. I got the impression, for this book was that she wrote it as a money spinner. dont think i`ll bother to buy this now.

I am an avid fan of "Ugly" and bought this book because I wanted to continue to follow her story. This book to me doesn't seem to contain the same emotional flow as her first. It's a good read and because you're interested in her you want to keep on reading - I just felt it was slightly rushed toward the end. Still worth reading however and I still admire her courage!

I purchased the first book and really enjoyed reading it, as I could see where Constance was coming from with having a terrible mother. I had the same issues with my mother and like Constance, I no longer have contact with her.
I looked forward to this book to see how her life was going and while it was a great read to see that she went onto getting her degree in law,the book went on too much about her surgery which made the book boring and made me feel that I wasted my money buying it IMO.
Such a shame as the first book was excellent.

Until just this moment I didn't know this was a sequel to another book. I only read this one.I just couldn't understand all the hype. Best-selling novel!! Why?? I found the voice and the writing really simple. She was so tight lipped about her feelings that I found it hard to relate to her in any way. She would pass over details I thought were important and then all of a sudden mention a big part of her life from out of no where. I didn't get this book. I was expecting something completely different and was really disappointed. I started thinking that as long as you have a horrible back ground and make something of yourself later in life you too can have a best selling novel... even if you can't write that well. I figure if I can write well, but come from a pretty good background, maybe I can have some success too...Levels out that way? Maybe I need to read Ugly now to figure out all the excitement around this book... but I will go to the library to and loan it out.

How very very disapointing, I want my money back!! I couldn't wait to purchase this book but I am so disappointed with the contents, it starts off alright but then it just goes on and on and on about her court appearance and her clients - It is nothing like the first book, I wanted to know more about her mother and her family but there was no mention at all. I really can't understand why Contance wrote this book, unlike the first book this one is so boring.
