Lulling at this:

Such an asshole they are still following him on Facebook :\

That's the SY page actually.

...and it's gonna sound like a beautiful mexican soap opera.

Well that said...

cool.

i was thinking to do the same actually.

thanks for the links! keep em coming, keep em coming!

Just finished the book! I enjoyed reading about Kim growing up and moving to NY, also I learned some things about SY song titles/lyrics. I didn't enjoy reading about the break up of the marriage and the band but thankfully there wasn't too much about that...

I'll check Jenn's review now!

I couldn't wait to finish the book when it came to the break up. That's what made me think it wasn't really that different from any other celebrity books. I don't think we need to know that much detail, unless you're cynically trying to sell a story. As a girl. In a band. Judging on mental illness and shit.

Finished it at lunch today.

Jenn, as I stated earlier I read your review as soon as I could after finishing the book. your review is great, and I want to tell you that, as someone who has followed your writing for a while now, I can see the growth and the increased ability to focus your language to convey exactly what you feel. That is bad ass!!!!!! You are kick-ass. Keep it up. Fuck everyone else. Dumbshits anyways.



I will be writing my review of Girl In a Band and posting it on my book review blog, and I will make sure to provide a link here.

BTW, as a divorced man who fell out of love with his wife, but DID NOT cheat on her, the passages detailing Thurston were like reading a mirror-universe, reverse version of what I went through, and it made me very glad that I never lost my respect for my ex-wife enough to do what he did.

I love you Kim.

Girl In A Band review is up. http://rxttbooks.blogspot.com/

I never lost respect for my exwife either.. we just became different people because we were too young. Indeed i still love her and we're still distant but sincere friends and now we are sucj different people that its amazing we were together for several years as it is! We just had this deeper connection that transcended our differences and allowed the compliment each other until we just grew too far appart for our love and connection to bridge the gap. In all reality it worked out better for both of us and today we're mutually proud of the people we've vecome. I can only hope kim and thurston can keep their friendship too, they were married for longer then many of my friends even have been alive and so surely they also had a deeper connection worth somewhat preserving when the dust finally settles.. cheating and adultery SUCK and are PAINFUL but they also are just reflections of people's inward shift and so the severing would have been inevitable regardless

In her book Kim details the dates Thurston and Eva hooked up, especially nine months before Eva's son was born, although Kim doesn't mention the baby, who was born on September 21, 2011. Kim decided to announce the split right after that. A baby is usually the last straw.

Whoa

the other day i had this critical-paranoiac (dalí) flash in which secretmonalisa (a shy hypersensitive name-- and from kansas, no less!) was kim's internet alter ego, digging up the dirt here in the board.

(this is evidently so not true but i like to imagine things)

HI KIM! *i know how to stucco*

A baby is an almost guaranteed last straw. The usual last straw is being caught, then caught with the same person again. While I am an asshole and sympathise w thurston, he really should have bailed on kim far sooner. A desire to cheat is normal and ok. Actually cheating is normal but bad....continuing to cheat is a clear sign one is unsatisfied and should move on. I sympathize still though. Being with one petson for 30 years, out of the "game" for so long, and having a kid involved complicatea things in ways I can only pretend to understand.

I don't know, maria and arnold stayed together until the kid that looked exactly like arnold was like 12 or 13! Usually there isn't a singular "deal breaker" usually what ends a marriage is when all the combined effords towards reconciliation fail or explode beyond any possible resolution.
