emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

I was never on thr Glee train, I had no idea she did music, and I didn't know she was a child star. I only picked this up after I was watching a video on "shmariana shamde" and they mentioned this memoir and that it was pretty good. 

I listened to the audio book that was read by her, and I felt it kind of took the emotion out of a lot of it tbh. But I did like the structure. Separating things into sections she wanted to talk about and we slowly had her life timeline filled in. 

I know enough about glee for the glee tea to still be interesting. 

This autobiography was alright. It wasn't bad, but it didn’t make me cry or think, and proved she a person like everyone else, and kind of exactly the kind of person I expected she'd be like.

I really enjoyed reading about Naya's life in her own words. It was very candid and she was open about all the experiences in her life. 

Like everyone, I was devastated to learn of her death but I am so glad we got to hear about her life in her own words before she passed. I can only imagine what else she would have achieved if she was still with us.

Still I am glad she was able to share part of her story and also even more happy to know she lived a lot of life, good and bad
