"I was lying on the hard, cold floor in the bathroom of the famous Chinese bistro Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. With my head next to the toilet, I was alone, in debt, with no friends and no hope. It had been a long, hard trip that led to this fall. Everything was designer-made, from my jewelry to my makeup to the clothes I wore—even the drugs I'd consumed. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor again".
--This passage came from chapter one. The author starts with a flashback about her life when she was on drugs. In my opinion, that is the cheesiest way to start a biography; maybe a fiction story, but not a non-fiction story. It's funny how she contrasts her nice life, but makes these stupid mistakes. So she is like she using an old cliche that every person has used at lease in his/her life; because a person has money doesn't make them a better or smart person, because they make the same mistakes. And I think the author pushes the reader to picture the character, so the reader know where she is coming from, instead of judging her right away.
Why start with this terrible point in her life?
How did she become this drug addicted and what is her destiny?
Who will help her of the bathroom floor or will she help herself?
