🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

❤️While a lot of people feel wrong rating memoirs because they feel like they’re rating people’s personal experiences, I feel more than comfortable giving @jillmdillard 5 ⭐s simply for the bravery that it took for her to write this book knowing how much she was risking in telling the truth.

And she did just that.

❤️Jill doesn’t overly scandalize her family or say things for the *shock factor*, she simply states the truth of what happened to her during the course of her life and leaves it up to the reader to make the judgements.

❤️The realities of growing up in the spotlight, having her entire life filmed (even against her will as an adult), being a victim of sexual abuse and not being compensated for her work on the show are just a few of the topics she addresses.

❤️While very different, I couldn’t help think of Jennette McCurdy’s book while reading this and how damaging it is for children to grow up in the public eye.

❤️There’s so much more I could say about this book and have pages of other thoughts, but I’ll just say once again how proud I am of Jill for sharing her story. I’m sure this will help so many who find themselves in similar situations.

🎧The audiobook is narrated by Jill and only about 7 hours and I couldn’t stop listening.

💌If you’ve read this book and want to talk about it, my DMs are open!!

🙏Thank you so much to @simon.audio for the free audiobook and to @gallerybooks for the finished copy.
