What depresses me is this statement she made: "I've always loved books that I could lose myself in, ones that would transport me to another place, but had characters I could relate to..." She sees her life as one that other teenagers will relate to? This sounds a lot like the bad kind of fantasy—the fantasy that everyone can be rich and beautiful if they just want it badly enough.
And of course, she's 22 and has a book deal. That depresses me, too.
