"....Try Hard To Love Me" by Subina Giuletti
I don't know if this book has been discussed in the past as I'm a newer member. I tried to do a search using the author's name but couldn't find anything.
I started it knowing it was written as "fiction", and as when I read anything about Michael Jackson, I took it all with a grain of salt and a skeptical eye.
Has anyone read it? It's a very trippy book to be sure. A bit hard to follow at times, perhaps because it was translated from German to English? Not sure, but once I got into it, it became easier to see where the author was going.
I have to say, it really captured me and I stayed up most of the night to finish. I smiled, I cried, it made me mad, it made me think, it made my jaw drop, it made my heart ache.
I found it fascinating, although I don't know how MJ fans would feel about certain parts that are, well, difficult to read. Again, keeping in mind it is written as fiction.
Has anyone read it? Thoughts? Respectful feedback? Please don't "throw things at me" for reading a fictional MJ book (many non fiction MJ books out there should be labeled as fiction for the most part).
This book just shook me up a bit, and wanted to know how others felt.
Thank you.
