About this ebook

More than six years after his death, Michael Jackson continues to fascinate the world. Shana Mangatal was one of Jackson's only constant and true rocks of stability for nearly two decades. Their relationship was quiet and sweet and real—a closely guarded secret, known only to a few trusted employees and friends. Shana is now coming forward to tell their love story. Her story is rich with every little detail. She witnessed the scandals, lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and subsequent world tours, big-budget short films, addictions. Michael and Me entertains and inspires, but above all, Shana continues to treat Michael (and his legacy) with respect. This is not an exploitative tell-all, but rather a book that shows the side of Michael people never knew. In it, Shana paints a more intimate picture of this beloved, yet very misunderstood man.

I just got done reading this and I was hooked from the very beginning that I had to finish the book ASAP, I finished the book in one day. And wow. What a true insight into his private life with her. This was probably every girls dream to have the special moments Shana did with Michael. She is so very lucky and blessed. I imagined him to be exactly like she explained in the book, flirty, funny, sweet, sexy, loving and caring but he was human at the end of the day and wasn't perfect, he had flaws too just like the rest of us. I was so shocked at the fact that he *spoiler alert* slept with her and all of a sudden turned cold and didn't call her for months and just shut her out of his life for a while. Damn. But no ones perfect, I guess he just had commitment issues. I love how very detailed and raw it was, it deffo wasn't sugar coated. There were many parts that made me laugh out loud and a few parts that were very sad. I just know that she did a great job with this book and respect that she finally decided to share all these lovely memories with us because I feel like this was the REAL Michael. I recommend this to any fan of Michaels. It was an excellent read.

أنت مجرد عاهرة أصبحت مشهورة بسبب ميخائيل ، تخجل من أن تكون غيورتك الغيورة تجعلك نجمة وتؤكل المال ، إذا كنت تحب حب نفسك إهانة معك ، فأنت مجرد مغامرة واحدة مثل بقية النساء
