President Biden’s troubled son Hunter is writing a sequel to his failed memoir “Beautiful Things” despite sales tanking. Apparently, the second book will focus on his relationship with now-wife Melissa Cohen and how she held him stay on the road to recovery Biden told Mad World Podcast.
Biden’s memoir had a massive ad blitz ahead of its debut yet still only managed to sell a little over 10,000 copies in the first week
According to The New York Post:
“That’s book two,” Hunter told host Byony Gordon.
“That’s where the book ends, but the one thing I really do feel almost an obligation to speak about or write about in the future is where the real hard work begins,” he said, adding, “I got particularly lucky.”
The sequel will highlight his relationship with Cohen, a South African filmmaker he met when he was in the throes of crack addiction.
”Beautiful Things” hit bookshelves on April 6 and debuted at No. 12 on Publisher’s Weekly hardcover list and No. 4 on the New York Times “Combined Print and E-Book Nonfiction,” but it sold only only 10,600 copies the first week and began a rapid descent on the lists.
Will Hunter Biden’s sequel fail as spectacularly as the first? Most likely but only time will tell.
