Book of the dayAutobiography and memoirReviewDaniels’s book reveals her to be a defiant survivor, with an eye for scabrous detail
“OK,” says the all-knowing Stormy Daniels halfway through her book, “so did you just skip to this chapter?” Yes, I did: she is well aware of a male tendency to climax prematurely.
