Wow this was so impactful heartbreaking, and intense. Minka's life, her story and her heart was such a beautiful and intense experience. Robin was a light at the end of the experience. Minka's journey from being a child in such an unstable space and her teen years going into her adult life. Learning how she went into her medical and then her acting career left me mind blown and emotional. My heart went out to Minka throughout her entire life, now in my 20's I related to her uncertainty about adulthood and the joy of independence. But also redefining love. Minka's complex relationship with her mom, friends, men, and most importantly herself was so intense and layered. When she started going into nursing and acting my heart glowed for her.

emotional hopeful sad
NR memoirs.

I really did enjoy the audiobook of this one! I think in general it leaves less up for interpretation with the authorโ€™s voice. Definitely check content warnings. Not much about behind the scenes when she got her break as I expected but still is a powerful story.
