5★: I ONLY KNEW HER AS AIBILEEN ➕ RANKED LISTS OF CELEB MEMOIRS! I’ve seen Viola Davis in other shows and movies, but didn’t know who she was. Now I want to go watch more of her. Viola narrated the audiobook, which won two Audie Awards (Audiobook of the Year and Narration by the Author). Her perseverance and vulnerability are inspirational; I’m glad she shared the first part of her story with the world AND that she is getting the recognition she deserves.

This was my 28th celebrity memoir. Published 18 months ago, this book now has an ASTONISHING 4.58★ average by 85,767 reviewers‼‼ To show just how awesome that is, I’m providing ranked lists (limited to books with 4.25-star averages or higher)!
