Reviews with content warning for Cursing - Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology

Leah Remini is known for being a television star, talk show host, and member of Scientology. Having been a member of the religion for years, she does all she can to move up the ranks and support the Church as much as possible. Remini begins to question the Church's motive. When she begins to draw attention to herself and her questions, the Church pushes back. After various encounters, Leah realizes her time as a Scientologist is over and steps away to start over.

Leah Remini has been very outspoken about Scientology and what its members have gone through. She details her first years in the religion, her goal to reach the upper tiers, and the moment that she begins to question all she has ever known. She is very open and opinionated throughout this book and does not hold back. I found the story to be well-done and I enjoyed Remini reading her own audiobook. It should be noted that Remini's accent is very strong in this audiobook and if a Brooklyn accent bothers you, I would go with the print book.

Had very little opinion of Leah Remini before this, aside from seeing a few episodes of various shows she's been on. I came away thinking she's hilarious and very transparent about who she is and what's she's been through. Also she curses a lot and I love that. I recommend listening to the audiobook to hear her read it.
