“You Deserve Happiness You Deserve To Be Loved Just As You Love Others. You Deserve Everything”
I have been a long time fan of Lily Collins work but I just became a huge fan of this woman’s soul. This is a breathtaking memoir that is perfect for all young women. Wonderfully written and full of relatable stories, Lily Collins truly is unfiltered as she takes us through her ups and downs.

This book took me completely by surprise. I knew I'd enjoy and connect with parts of the novel from the videos and posts I'd seen about it, but I'd never thought I'd love it as much as I did.
Lily made her story relatable and easy to follow and it was inspiring to read.
I highly recommend to any females of any age, who need some motivation in life.

One of my reading goals this year was to read more non fiction, and I’ve been eyeing Lily Collins’ autobiography for a long time. One of my favorite actresses, I found Lily’s essays to be very personal. She spoke about some very personal topics, but she also writes like she’s sitting across from the reader. It felt a lot like having a conversation with a friend over coffee, which I really enjoyed.
She talks about her background in journalism and that showed in the way she writes. Each chapter seemed very structured and informative which (to me) is a very journalistic (is that a word? Eh it is now) way of writing. And it isn’t always my cup of tea so sometimes it was hard to stay interested, but overall I think that she wrote a great book. Also, because of some of the stories she shared (there are cws for abusive relationships and eating disorders), she offered resources at the end of the book for readers who may need them and I think that was great.

"And I remember that standing out in a crowd is much more rewarding than blending in."
YES YES AND YES. I have been a fan of Lily for quite a few years now, but I obviously did not know a lot about her as a person until this book came out. This book showed me different sides of Lily that I did not know about before and it was such an interesting read. I liked how she told her own stories and added photos to back it up.
This book really shows you Lily as the person she is. In it she shares wonderful stories and messages that everyone could get something out of. I am happy I have read this book and feel that I know her better know. Thanks for speaking about your life Lily.

4.5/5 stars!
I loved this. I’m so happy I decided to listen to it. I love Lily Collins and it was so special that she was the narrator so it was like we were having a conversation. I could relate to so much of what she was saying. I’d recommend this to any fan of hers or even if your not, read it anyway.

Lily Collins is amazing not only as an actress but as a person and a writer. This book made me love her and admire her even more than I already did. She's been through so much and yet she was able to heal and speak up to all these people about her past, and it takes a hell lot of strength to do that. This was a very inspirational book and I would recommend it to anyone, not just her fans.
“I am whole just as I am. I am defined not by my life experiences but by how I let them affect me and how I handle myself in each situation.”

Lily Collins's acting isn't my cup of tea, at least in the movies I've seen with her in it. But I do believe she's gorgeous and an amazing woman. And this book made me appreciate her even more.
This girl has been through a lot, and she tells us about it in every chapter. This is an eye-opening book for those (myself incluided) who just assume celebrities are born flawless and perfect, no insecurities, no self-consciousness, no pimples. Well, turns out celebrities are actual people and have actual problems.
Do I recommend it? Yes, I think it deserves to be recognized and shared. Did I love it? I don't know a lot about non-fiction books but I really liked it.

This book is so beautifully written and wonderful. I was deeply touched by everything Lily shared in this book. She has a really special way with words that's endearing and rare. Such talent is so refreshing to come by and I now love her even more. Such a positive, incredible soul.
Definitely recommend this book to everyone!
