My Life So Far by Jane Fonda
4.0
4-4.5 stars. I think I have read better memoirs, but Jane Fonda's story is a story to be told.
What I (as a 20 year-old) liked most, was to be teleported into the 40s-very early 2000s. A time I couldn't experience myself.
Moreover, I learned more about American history (I'm not from the US), especially about the Vietnam war (of course from her perspective). I watched two of her movies (Klute & On Golden Pond) during the time I read her memoir, which I can highly recommend (whatever movies you choose) because you get the inside view of Jane and which scenes were important to her/what happened off camera and so on.
I also liked her reflective parts, and how her character changed over time.
