Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up by Selma Blair

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Selma is unflinchingly honest and not trying to present a shiny version of her life. She is honest about herself, her flaws, her experience, her lessons learned. And her ability to tell a captivating story is incredible. 

Selma's life has been beautiful and hard. She is candid about her experiences with alcoholism, sexual assaults, and her health, culminating in being diagnosed with MS. This adds up to a memoir with a touch of darkness, read with caution if you are sensitive to those themes.
