Now, with a new cover depicting their wedding day, it is finally available in all reading formats.
I guess Priscilla decided to finally re-release it, almost four decades later, because of all the increased interest about Elvis with the new movie I now prefer to read on kindles, and noticed that this book (which originally came out in 1985) was not available digitally. I finally visited Graceland in 2019, and was reminded of this book. It introduced me to the world of Elvis, and from that point on I greedily would read any book that came out about him. It was a blockbuster hit with the public and probably prompted me to buy the book. But when I watched the television series (based on the book) in 1988 starring Dale Midkiff as Elvis and Susan Walters as Priscilla, I was transfixed. I was a teenager in high school when Elvis passed away, but had no particular interest in him. I had the original paperback copy which is probably dog-eared because I re-read it several times. This guy is WEIRD.This is actually one of my favorite books.
Also, anyone who claims she never loved him is crazy because he mentions so many times in this book her obvious hurt and uncomfortableness when visiting Elvis's house or going through his belongings. Priscilla told him very quickly in the relationship she felt safe to tell him anything and could be herself around him and then he turns arounds and cheats on her, and then resents her because they live in her house and because she has more opportunities than him, and then falls in love with her daughter? The only thing I liked about this book is learning more about Priscilla's life after Elvis passed, and also learning about the things she did to learn to be herself and finally be free. She told him, it's too soon to move in together, yet he pushed her into it. She just wanted a bf that did not control her every move. Priscilla never asked him to be Elvis or even act like him for Lisa's sake. And his bs about losing himself was actually misogyny because Priscilla was more successful them him.
He himself put himself in Elvis's shoes and thought it was his job to replace Elvis, but then blamed Priscilla when he "Lost himself" because he was caught up in the "Presley name". either this guys an idiot, or I cannot comprehend.
