Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up by Selma Blair

25 reviews

btodd12's review against another edition

dark medium-paced

3.0

I wanted more introspection from Selma Blair. Mean Baby mostly read like an autobiography instead of a memoir because it lacked reflection. There is a LOT of trauma in this book, but it is mostly just told as a story without revealing the depth of Selma Blair’s thoughts and feelings.

The memoir I didn't know I needed until I cracked it open! Beautifully written, vulnerable, and enlightening.
