4/5 As someone who doesn’t typically read biographies, found it hard to rate someone’s life 4 stars. However, I really think this was a great first biography. Even though this book took me a long time to read, it was worth it. She writes very honestly and doesn’t really portray herself as the protagonist. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking to get into biographies. You might just want to make sure your heads in the right place before you do.

This book is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for those who are in the throes of mental health and ED issues themselves, but I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who feels robust enough.
Yes she was a great actor (it's unfortunate her experience with acting was so negative since she does have a knack for it), but clearly her writing skills are not lacking in the least either. I was really taken along on her journey and while I saw the wrongness in many situations, I also saw why it took so long for her to realise that wrongness. She managed to capture her childlike nativité without sugarcoating the situation in a great balance that really managed to immerse me fully. Nothing but praise for her and the best of luck. She deserves nothing but the best for herself.
