I did read CANDY GIRL. First, it's not a novel. It's her memoir. Second, it was well-written but shallow. It showed the same horrific flipness and ignorance as this TV series about sexual assault.

And there are plenty of writers who are judged by only one work. Cody's memoir only sold at all because it was about sex. She only got her chance to write a screenplay because Reitman read her sex blog. Let's be real about this.
