So while i take issue with about a thousand other things in this jones book lol, this particular topic i think may indeed be true, or the impression jones got from whatever time she spent with chris, because i heard that about her long before this book came out.

That’s fair. I can believe this is true, to an extent. I even recall Chris saying around 2005 that she was unlucky in love and that it was a real drag. But would she have wanted the world to read about her sadness? And while a lovely melancholy permeates her songs, I believe she also did what productive, creative people do: she turned her feelings into art. I wish that was the lead story.
