What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, And Me (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I was hoping for something a little more from this book. What I got was a book written by a narcissistic, delusional, arrogant woman. She claims not to be a gold-digger, but throughout the book she talks about telling this guy or that one "I need a place to live, I need money for expenses, I need a car" and immediately having her needs met. Whatever happened to getting a job and working for your money? And the way she talks about Elizabeth Edwards is VERY harsh. The behavior she describes may or may not be the truth, but describing it in such detail makes Hunter seem vindictive and like the typical mistress, sure that she is SO much better than the wife.Hunter's writing style is also lacking. She writes in a way that makes her come across as a love-sick teenager, not a forty year old woman who should be more mature.Glad I borrowed this audiobook from the library and didn't actually PAY for it!!! “When spiritual beliefs are used to build up walls between people, this is a total misunderstanding of the purpose of spirituality. Spirituality should mean coming closer to yourself. When this happens, you become closer to others, too. Spirituality and religion should dismantle discrimination and labels, not shore them up. It should break, not create, barriers between people.” Said the 17th Karmapa. Rielle Hunter is the quintessential spiritual materialist. What a narcissist. Just wish i could give it zero stars. And I got this book for free. I would not have given this woman a penny.
What do You think about What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, And Me (2012)?
A dreadful cast of characters, hideous writing and a complete absence of editorial input!

Don't waste your time. All this book is is a rationale for adultery.
