Despite Sheen’s raving review, commenters on the site were not smitten with Richards’ story.

“If you’re going to write a book, tell us exactly what hppnd [sic] to the marriage. Everything was wonderful in the marriage and then all of the sudden, she had to get a divorce. Did Charlie cheat? Did he start beating her?” Julie Lynch wrote. “What happened to the romance w/Richie? Again, everything was wonderful then all of a sudden, it wasn’t & they split up.”

One reader called the book “Disappointing” and “Way too preachy,” while another described the memoir as more of an “advice book.”

“This is not a tell all book like you would think,” wrote Becki Green. “All she does is give advice, like 'I do this, I don’t do that and you shouldn’t either.'”

“Denise Richards is a class act!” wrote Lynn. “After reading this, you get a feeling like you know her and want to be friends with her… You truly feel the love and devotion she had for her Mom something I personally admire greatly."
