Review: It Seemed Important at the Time: A Romance Memoir

It Seemed Important at the Time: A Romance Memoir It Seemed Important at the Time: A Romance Memoir by Gloria Vanderbilt
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

it is really hard for me to give a book 1 star, but this book just missed the mark. Writing style is not for my taste as she constantly takes readers out of the story to ask them a question. It's annoying, don't YOU think? While this was supposed to be a romantic essay, I thought she came off more whore-y than anything else. Talking endlessly about her love-ahs including men that were married, and in her youth some curious girls. Mostly I just thought is she out of her MIND to think that most women can relate to these stories? Dates where she is whisked off to far lands. She pretends that being GLORIA VANDERBILT and all her glory and money is nothing special, but I'll tell you something Gloria Vanderbilt, Not a lot of woman get asked as a first date to Paris. I think she was trying to be chummy and coy with all the silly 'don't you agree?' and 'who wouldn't say yes to a complete stranger taking me to London' well, I wouldn't. But then again, I would never write a book about my 'next great love' while so clearly rejecting the previous. I'm sure her children loved this book.
