I will admit I mostly knew Viola Davis from How To Get Away With Murder, but after reading this book I want to consume every bit of media she's been a part of. She is incredibly vulnerable and emotional throughout this book, unveiling traumatic experiences from her childhood to present life and how they shaped her. It was difficult to listen to her tell her stories. At times I became deeply upset hearing her recount things, specifically those that I could relate to and knew the pain of all too well. This immediately became one of my favourite books ever just a few minutes in - Viola's narration is beautiful and adds another layer to the stories.

This was really good! I honestly knew nothing about her when I picked this up, I just liked her as an actress. I didn’t realize the life she lived and how amazing and inspiring that makes her. This has some really dark topics, but there’s a lot of light as well. I really enjoyed her talking about healing her younger self. This did make me tear up when she was talking about her father dying and how they see the ones that passed before they go. I’m excited to watch more things she’s in because I realize I haven’t seen all that much.
