what would dolly do ? lauren marino i fucking love this woman so fucking much. dolly parton, that is. this author sucks. sorry for my juvenile phrasing, but this whole thing reads like a buzzfeed article, so i don’t really feel i owe it to this author to be articulate with my criticism. the authors note says she’s worked for penguin random house and a bunch of other publishing houses and im like, “as what ? a janitor ? a receptionist ?” jk apparently she was a publishing executive. i can not believe this book had an editor, especially considering mistakes like saying dolly's home was “west of nashville” and kristin chenoweth was born in “arkansas” (she was born in oklahoma.) i didn’t like that half the book was dedicated to physical appearances and diet, especially because this feels targeted towards t33n girls. 10/10 for dolly 1/10 for the writing so i guess 5.5/10? i feel bad saying that, because i really did enjoy myself while reading this. i’ll just say 6. 6/10. i gave it a one star on goodreads tho, so idk.
