This great writeup just in from Elle...
"Both brainier and sweeter than any in the recent spate of media-insider memoirs (let's call them the children of the devil who wore Prada), writer Jancee Dunn's account of her unlikely ascendance from self-described suburban Jersey girl to Rolling Stone magazine's go-to journalist for profiling musical royalty (from the Beastie Boys to her personal heroine, Dolly Parton) is an unexpected treat. This is due in large part to Dunn's knack for neither demonizing nor venerating the crazy world of celebrity in which she unexpectedly found herself swept up. Instead, while the author cannily delivers enough behind-the-velvet rope anecdotes to satisfy the voyeur in all of us, the book's real strength lies in its moving account of how she, along with many of the stars she covered, struggled to retain integrity and humanity in a totally topsy-turvy world with limitless temptations. It's the ultimate beach read for the person who likes their pop culture served with a side of smarts."
