It appears to readers of books on her life that although she was a fairly suicidal person, she really didn't want to die. She just wanted to live a different life than she lived.

This book is a very fast read and a very interesting perspective. The author definitely believes Marilyn meant to kill herself, despite all the hype and investigations into her death.

Marilyn, with her depressions and moodiness, was probably very difficult to understand for someone who hasn't been there. On the outside looking in, it DOES appear that her death was by her own hand. But other accounts show Marilyn to be at the best health and close to being very happy when she died.

Anyone interested in Marilyn should read this book.
