I'm a Disney girlie. I grew up watching Disney Channel and a lot of the shows/movies mentioned in this book. So I enjoyed getting insight into the Lizzie McGuire fallout between Lalaine and Hilary Duff, and how Hilary started the Disney actress-to-singer pipeline. 

I watched Hannah Montana, but I wasn't a huge fan. I appreciated how Miley told off executives for trying to get time with her and their kids/grandkids when she was supposed to meet with children in the hospital. 

I flew through the 75% of the book. Not that the last 25% was boring. I just felt like it was rushed. I felt like each chapter could have been a book on its own and I would have devoured it!
