Book: The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain
Author: Spencer Pratt

Thank you so much, @gallerybooks, for the free book! 
I got so excited when I opened a package a few weeks ago to a copy of Spencer Pratt’s memoir, The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain. I was a huge fan of The Hills, so I knew this was a must-read for me. 
If you plan to read any memoir/biography this year, I would put this at the top of your list! Even if you aren’t a fan of reality television. Spencer’s story is very compelling. He is very candid about his life. 
This memoir will put you on a range of emotions from laughing about the first time he blackmailed his father to getting teary-eyed when he talks about the Palisades fires. It’s a must-read!
Lastly, if you are a fan of audiobooks, Spencer himself narrates the book. 
Final Score: 5/5
