I have a lot of conflicting thoughts that I need to summarize…

1) I absolutely loved the sections where Pamela talks about her non-profit work and her activism. I wish that more celebrities used their platforms for this kind of work.
2)I could not stand the way she excused male behavior in her life. To each their own of course but her lack of criticism for the men that hurt her and others was jarring for me considering the forgiveness implied by her words.

Overall, this book was really well written and I think parts of Pamela’s story are really powerful. She captures her own spirit in a way that does her justice and shines a light on her humanity. Docked off a star-ish because I wished for her to reflect more deeply on her privileges in life as a star and I wish there had been some more discussion around the harmful men she encounters. But, it’s her book, not mine! I’m still a fan and love her honesty, mission, and nature.

Loved Pamela’s telling of her story. I learned a lot about her - especially how fond she is of philosophy. Last 1/4 of the book lost me a little and I wish she had gone a little deeper into some parts, but I respect her keeping her personal boundaries.

Loved this. Pamela Anderson is such an intelligent and inspiring role model and there are so many messages in this book that are worth remembering. It tells her story the way she wants to which makes it very personal. Some of the themes explored definitely need a content warning (animal abuse, rape, etc) and make the otherwise light-hearted storytelling more serious. She never lingers too long on one time of her life and it mostly goes into her love for her children and her charity work. It is also full of poetry and mentions her literary inspirations, which makes it all the more interesting. A fairly quick read about an incredible woman!
