Monica's Story by Andrew Morton
1999
Weight: 1.2 lbs
Method of Disposal: Leaving Somewhere
Do you remember the Monica Lewinsky debacle? Anyone old enough probably cannot forget if they want to. What a strange, absurd thing. I bought this book when I was in eight grade. My girlfriend at the time really liked Monica and told me I should read it. I decided I would. Her story felt like slut-shaming to me. What did she do to deserve so much scorn? I bought it partially to hear her side, partially to impress my girlfriend, and partially to throw money Monica's way. After all the public embarrassment and nastiness being slung about her, I really did not care if she got "rich" of it. Nowadays, I am just not interested in keeping the book, rereading it, or really thinking about Monica Lewinsky. I wish her and everyone else involved the best regardless of anyone's actions.
