dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

A beautiful, heart-breaking, heart-wrenching, emotionally compelling memoir of Selma Blair's life from the early years to now.
  
We all like to think that stardom and celebrity is easy, beautiful, graceful, healthy. This proves that you never know what people have gone through in their lives.
  
From the first drink at age 3, to daily drinking to numb the pain from unbeknownst MS, Selma Blair tells a frank & honest recollection of her memories.
