4.0

I enjoyed watching minka on Friday Night lights, so it was fascinating to learn more about her. I had no idea that her childhood was so tumultuous. This was not an easy book to listen to, but I definitely felt it was worth it. Minka does an excellent job at excavating her past and presenting it in a coherent and emotional manner. This was so much more than just a timeline of her childhood trauma, it was also clearly a journey of healing. I am a very nosy person and I enjoy getting to learn the inner workings of other people. This book was a fascinating and eye-opening read.

Is having a fucked up childhood a prerequisite to becoming a celebrity? Minka’s story was so sad. I only knew of her as Lyla Garrity on the hit TV show Friday Night Lights, my comfort show that I turn on any time I am sick or not feeling well. Let me tell you, her life was not as rich as Lyla’s in any way, shape, or form. This book has basically every single trigger warning in the book so if you want to look them up, do yo’ thang, girl. It’s amazing that she was able to drum up so much success for herself after the multiple hells she went through. This was a great memoir.
