The thing which strikes me the most is that the author only acknowledges what really is going on, 83% into the book. The low rating isn't because I think it isn't worth reading (maybe skip to the last 20% of the book), but the writing style is tedious and pretty much a diary of events the author is regurgitating in her defense against the allegations the trump family dumped on her.
Everything (a) Trump touches dies. We know that. Does Melania have a heart? Of course not. That's the only real conformation/takeaway from this book.

This is quite a disturbing tale of obsession, isolation, abuse and grooming? Though I guess credit should be given to the author for attempts at being brutally honest.
