From Publishers Weekly
This much-publicized and highly sensational ``instant'' book by one of the closest confidantes of O.J. Simpson's slain ex-wife may well leave readers wondering, ``With friends like that, who needs enemies?'' Dedicated by Resnick (a self-proclaimed serious substance abuser) to ``the most wonderful friend I have ever known, and to women everywhere who are trapped in corrosive and humiliating relationships like the one Nicole did not survive,'' this tabloidy tell-all seems to dish as much dirt on Nicole as it does on her ex-husband, whom Resnick appears convinced murdered her best friend and Ron Goldman. Co-written by Walker, who works for the National Enquirer, the book is chock-full of details about the doomed couple's lives: O.J.'s uncontrollable temper, ego and possessiveness; Nicole's physical yearnings for tequila, Kansas City Chiefs football star Marcus Allen (who is a longtime friend of O.J.'s) and slain waiter Ron Goldman, who Resnick insists did not have an affair with her murdered girlfriend, but whom she felt certain Nicole was ``inevitably'' going to ``do.'' The book, which includes a brief chapter chronicling the night shortly before the murders when Resnick and Nicole fell into each other's arms and experimented with lesbian sex, altruistically concludes with a section offering a state-by-state listing of Help Line phone numbers for female victims of domestic violence.

Some friend...........
Faye Resnick, I'm so glad you are NOT my friend.

I got this book from the library. Thank goodness I didn't spend my hard earned money on it. Faye doesn't deserve a cent for writing this kind of trash about her "best" friend.

I truly believe that O.J. did indeed kill Nicole and Ron Goldman, but thanks to Faye Resnick, my opinion of Nicole has taken a turn for the worse. This does not mean that I think she deserved what happened to her, but it does lead me to believe that she was at least partly responsible for what happened to her by the way that she kept playing mind games with O.J.

In Faye's own words she said that O.J. had finally given up on his relationship with Nicole and was happy in a relationship with Paula Barbieri. He wasn't calling Nicole, and he was only talking to her if it concerned the children. When Nicole discovered that O.J. wasn't chasing after her anymore she decided that she wanted to reconcile. She then went on to tell him every man she had been with since they had been divorced and what they had done together and she even went so far as to get involved with one of his closest friends, Marcus Allen.

Faye said that Nicole thought that fooling around outside your marriage was the lowest thing you could do, and she never fooled around while she was married to O.J., yet after her divorce from O.J., Nicole saw nothing wrong with going after men who were engaged to other women. She even snuck into one of these men's bed while he was sleeping and performed oral sex on him. She and all her friends referred to this little episode as "The Brentwood Hello". I'm afraid her own actions may have led to her sad "Brentwood Goodbye" and I am sickend by the fact that Ron Goldman happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He would be alive today if he hadn't of had the misfortune of meeting Nicole Brown Simpson and my heart goes out to his family and also to Nicoles children.

The whole book is trashy. It is also written so out of sequence that you find yourself having to flip back chapters and check dates just to keep up with things.

Faye did Nicole no favors by writing this book. She did it for the money, plain and simple.

Faye Resnick is a leech. She slept her way up the Beverly Hills ladder and took all she could get from anyone willing to give it to her. Her claims of being a good mother and a great friend leave me nauseaous.

People, if you feel you must read this book, go to the library, don't give this greedy woman a dime of your money.

YUCK!
This woman considered herself to be Nicole's best friend. Poor Nicole. Because if that was true, and this woman was Nicole's best friend, then I wonder what her enemies were like? If the revelations in this book are true, then Nicole was nothing more than a bisexual man leach with who was kissed more times than the Pope's ring. What kind of friend would write such a trashy and expoitative book, whether true or not, mere months after a friend's brutal murder? What kind of friend would want to cash in on this terrible tragedy? The money that Resnick was paid for writing this book is, in my mind, blood money. I hope she's happy. If this woman was a true friend, she would have fought for justice for Nicole with dignity, love, and compassion, and NOT write this garbage, which serves nobody and does nothing but bring more pain and sorrow to the unspeakably victimised.

It's bad enough that the so called "Dream Team" and her murdering ex-husband trashed Nicole so badly in the wake of the murders and during the criminal and civil trials. But when this person was a so-called friend, it is just inexcuseable. Poor Nicole. I don't think she'll ever rest in peace.

For a glimpse of the real Nicole, read the things that her family has said about her. And for a glimpse of the reality of her relationship with her murdering husband, read the book "Raging Heart" by Sheila Weller. I wonder if book burnings are still conducted? If they are, this one should be at the top of the pile.

what the (bleep)?
I thought this book would be a chronical of Nicole and OJ's relationship from the get-go, and how things eventually devolved to the sad state they were in at the end, but instead, it focused more on Faye Resnick's scatterbrained rantings about restaurants, clubs, sexual partners, vacations, and utterly soulless, vapid "friendships"...all provided in non-chronological order! There was relatively little information about the relationship between the famous couple: strange in a book that purports to be about that very subject. I feel sorry for Faye and Nicole, because I come away from reading this disjointed, rambling, bizarre account of seemingly disconnected events with the impression that both of them were seriously emotionally damaged women. So at least that was conveyed well.
