I enjoyed this - it's a quick read and a very interesting window into somebody who has led a very interesting life. I wouldn't recommend this to somebody who's unfamiliar with who Parvati is - her Survivor arc is important subtext and I don't know how well that translates if you haven't watched those seasons. Conversely, it's also pretty light on Survivor BTS stuff so I wouldn't call it a must read for casual Survivor fans either. But if you find her compelling and are curious about how a female reality star television edit in the year 2008 might have done a real number on somebody, it's a good read.

Queen Parvati wrote a book and I ate it up! It was so interesting to hear about her upbringing and her life off the screen, and what was going on in her head and through her life on her time on Survivor. She did such a great job on the show, but there’s so much more to the story outside of it and it was raw, vulnerable, honest, and relatable. I really liked listening to the audio book because she narrates it. Highly recommend even if you’ve never seen Survivor. 

wish it was longer!!

while i’m not one for memoirs, when i saw that parvati came out with one of her own, i felt like i had to read it as my duty as a survivor fan. i loved learning about her upbringing and how it affected her life and game play on all the shows she’s been on. as viewers we only get a portion of who the people are on our screens, and getting a bigger picture of the characters we know and love is so special. her personality really shines through in her narration, making it feel like a friend explaining her life story. i really enjoyed listening to the audiobook, giving me a new perspective on one of my favorite survivor players. 

I’ve always loved Parvati and the black widow so hearing her side of the story was super interesting.
