Here's the Story by Maureen McCormick


I was so excited that Marcia Brady wrote a book. I read Greg's book years ago and loved it, so I was really looking for more behind-the-scenes dirt.

Overall, I was disappointed in the book and wouldn't recommend it. It's Maureen's life story. While it has some interesting times, mostly it's all about drug abuse with her trying to make herself look as good as possible along the way.

Maureen comes off as very conceited and arrogant. She talks many times about how beautiful she is, how smart she is, how she can learn lines quicker than anyone else, what a great singer she is, etc. It gets really, really old.

The parts about her family were interesting and tragic, and it doesn't sound like even now anything has been resolved in a positive way. That's sad. But it's hard to tell what the real truth is, given how she writes about herself.

I wouldn't say I'm sorry I read it, but it wasn't much of a read.
