Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love by Courtney Love

3.0

Would of been better if I could actually decipher her handwriting! But I really enjoyed Courtney's pre-Kurt diary entries. As terrible as it is to say, it was so interesting to see her hopes and dreams for her life before Kurt and Frances. I really loved her entry about what she was going to teach to her children, even though it was bittersweet because you could really see that Courtney wanted to be a good mom but did not accomplish it. What I got out of the entries was that Courtney's writing style is scarily similar to Kurt's - minus the references to vaginas and heart shaped boxes, etc., she loves Kurt and Frances so much it was sometimes painful to read, and there was so much lost potential and brilliance in Courtney that was never made public. An interesting read altogether, though I would have found it helpful if she included text alongside her scrawl so we could fully understand the creative genius that was Courtney Love.
