I finished this in a day! I’ve found many celebrity memoirs are poorly written and/or depend too heavily on the appeal of the celebrity rather than the writing itself. This book isn’t like that! I found the writing to be engaging and fast paced, a clear linear trajectory but with snippets of past memories intertwined appropriately in a way that adds to an overall narrative about survival and building a life of love. I love that she covers her recently discovered queerness!
I’m a fan of the show Survivor but have always been fairly neutral on Parvati as a player. I’ve never seen her on Traitors. It was interesting to learn more about her background and definitely changes the way I see her gameplay on Survivor.
At first I liked the references to texts and practices Parvati found transformational, but by the end I was a bit bored reading about them. It seems very in line with her aim to sell courses/workshops/coaching sessions, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but as someone who isn’t into the idea of life coaches it wasn’t appealing.

I think the book’s structure is its biggest strength. Parvati does a good job breaking down how people respond to survival situations and this gives a lot of context to her life and how she has played in reality games. This is worth more of a read if you are a fan of her, but I think some people would still get something out of it if they knew nothing of Shallow prior to reading.
