[quote=Anonymous]I was disappointed as well.  I read an interview where she said the book wasn’t supposed to be part 2 of her memoir, but a book profiling people across the country who were working to make ends meet or something along those lines. I believe she was supposed to start traveling to do interviews around March 2020.  So her publisher let her change course and write Class instead.

The book was supposed to be about class — as in low income people don’t have it easy vs higher income people with means.  The book just read about how hard it was for her to get to class — because her kid didn’t want to go to day care/ kindergarten, her problems finding care for her child, etc.

Also— she also says somewhere (the interview I read? In the book?) about how she wants her daughters to read the book someday.  She probably should have left out some details about her sex-capades and poor judgement.  I had to look up how old Stephanie is b/c her actions and judgements were those of someone a decade+ younger. (She is in her mid-forties now.)[/quote]
