The U.K. press is giving Meghan Markle's picture book terrible reviews The kinds of people who like to get mad about Meghan Markle are — shocker! — mad about her new children's book, The Bench. "It reads as if it has been penned as a self-help manual for needy parents rather than as a story to entertain small kids," wrote the critic for The Times, while The Telegraph's Claire Allfree called the picture book "semi-literate" and "grammar-defying." The Scotsman's Aidan Smith further wondered, "Why do celebs who become parents feel compelled to mark the event by writing a children's book?" Hmm, perhaps because success is the best revenge?
