I was not expecting this book to be so existential but I really enjoyed it. I love how it was so honest and written entirely by Pamela herself. I’ve always looked up to her for being such a strong and empowered woman and this book just strengthened those opinions. I loved her poetry scattered between her story, it helped to really understand her emotion and intelligence. She’s gone through a lot of adversity in her life and it’s so nice to see how she’s overcome it. I highlighted so much of this book, there were so many anecdotes of beautifully written wisdom sprinkled throughout her inner thoughts and experiences. I’ll definitely be coming back to this one whenever I need to trust the process of life and self exploration. I also really admire her parenting style and just grace overall. Towards the end of the book I started to feel like I had gotten everything I could out of it and became slightly bored. However, I’m really glad I finished through the epilogue and acknowledgements because there were things she wrote that I think I needed to hear. Overall it was a great read the only reason for the medium rating was towards the end I felt as though I was anticipating finishing the read.

Oh, Pamela. I had a weird time with this book. The bits about Tommy and Kid Rock were juicy as hell, of course, but everything else seemed a bit loosey goosey. The whole time it felt like a billboard screaming, "Hey! I have fake boobs and did Playboy, but look! I have a brain too! I am, in fact, a person!" And I didn't need all that. I know Pam's a human being with a whole brain and a whole heart.
But I guess the rest of the world doesn't... and I guess I don't blame a woman who's been judged, objectified, and exploited her whole life for writing her memoir this way. Maybe I'm just... sad about it.
