Calm down, anon! 🙂 This book was finished and printed by last summer, maybe before. It was supposed to launch last September, but for some reasons, they’ve decided to delay it until Women’s day. It could be for marketing reasons, or editing maybe, I have no idea. But some copies have been distributed since last September, with or without PM mention, that I don’t know either.

What I know is that PM was still with his wife before February last year, or at least, their separation hasn’t been announced, so let’s all take a step back and think. You can believe she’s dating him, it’s okay, and at some point we will know the truth anyway, but thinking she’s dating him for more than a few months just doesn’t make any sense. 

Would she acknowledge her still married and very recent boyfriend on such a book for the only reason that he’s her boyfriend? That’s the question you have to ask yourself.

Okay, guys, here are some facts.  The book is available on a Kindle preview, so if any of you can access it, you can see it for yourselves.  I’d rather not post a screenshot because of Gillian’s request.

PM’s name appears in a larger group of people.  It’s all alphabetical.  

It’’s not in the “grateful thanks” section.

It’s not in a section called “My personal thanks”.

Both Gillian’s and Jennifer’s thanks are grouped together.

While Gillian’s children appear, her mother and sister do not.  One would assume those closest to her would have a mention, right?  (That’s something I expected.)

Please don’t freak out until we know more.  If it were David in the pack, you know people would be yelling that it means nothing and he’s a friend included in a mass of people.

So we should continue to look at this logically.  If it turns out to be something, fine. If it doesn’t, at least we’ll have approached it sensibly.

Well, I think this is the moment for her PR to react. I don’t know what is going on here but Twitter freaking out completely. And there are again, hate on Gillian and Peter Morgan. People who don’t understand what acknowledgment in the book means are questioning Gillian, her true intentions, her feminism and cannot understand why for example she’s mentioned him and not her mother.

So yes, either PR should react or this will end badly for her. Someone from tabloid will finally pick up the story how feminist who wrote the feminist book included her boyfriend, a married man to this. A man who didn’t treat her with respect on GGs.

*sigh*

I wanted to make my own post, but everything is brilliantly said here. I don’t know since when a name acknowledged on a book is synonym of Love, but okay. This acknowledgement could be both personal or professional, seeing the mix of names in this paragraphs. Doctors, professors, marketing agencies, family, writers….
It’s not the “proof” that will make me change my mind on the status of their relationship, even if I agree with @altaircolin, it’s time for an explanation and a closure, in a way or another, because this book is released in a few days, and I’m sure this page is not the one Gillian wanted us to focus on.

Only time will tell, I just hope it won’t be too long.
