Brooke Shields The Face, that was all I really knew about her. I forgot she is an actress, I remember she was married to a tennis star at one point. But there is so much to her. I loved this book. Not only did it show me that other women were going through the same things in life I am right now, but it helped me know I am not alone in this struggle called life.

This fell flat for me. My expectations were higher. Little to no substance. I was disappointed because I think she’s interesting and a genuinely nice person. I wanted to like this.

I love the candor of Brooke Shields book: no holds barred, she shares exactly what the thinks! One of the most refreshing aspects is that no topic is taboo - she shares not only her successes, but also her failures (real or perceived) about relationships, parenthood, parents, work, sex, menopause, empty nests, and much more. r story is filled with introspection and is well researched with resources in the Notes section. 

I found it amazing that this "child star" (since infancy) managed and grew into a truly wonderful emotionally healthy woman in spite of have an alcoholic parent/agent. She seems like the kind of woman you would love to sit down with and just talk about any and everything!
