It was mentioned as a memoir that discussed Ashley Elrin's life and death, with details about her friendship with the author and her life in Los Angeles.
There's actually a book called The Hot One, a memoir of friendship, sex, and murder by Caroline Murnick, who was one of Ashley Elrin's childhood friends, and my cousin actually gave me this book about a year ago and I just connected it the other day when I saw this on an article.
By the way, everyone should go check out my cousin's book club on Instagram at Bellatrist.
The book talks about how the two grew up in rural New Jersey, but once they went to different high schools, they grew apart and Ashley was outgoing and popular while Caroline struggled to fit in.
Caroline explained that Ashley moved to Los Angeles where she went to college, but dropped out to begin stripping in Vegas and working as an escort.
She also started experimenting with drugs and dated many actors, including Ashton Kutcher and Vin Diesel, so Caroline describes The Hot One to be Ashley.
