A light, quick read as long as you expect a feel-good kinda self-help book. I’d recommend this to teenagers interested in Frida and her life, but anyone wanting a more detailed, thoughtful take on the artist will be left wanting.
A biography of Frida Kahlo with a bonus - the author uses events from Frida’s life to speculate on what advice the artist might offer about life’s challenges.
I listened to part of the book via audio and found it very engaging. I knew something of Frida’s life but learned so much more! I know some reviewers found the book repetitive but I saw very little repetition and thought the author only repeated Frida’s advice very appropriately in overlapping situations. I very much enjoyed this version of Frida Kahlo’s life story.

The ultimate influencer, the original selfie guru - myself along with millions of others, are obsessed with Frida Kahlo. As an art school nerd, I have followed her work and life for years, including attending several exhibitions, retrospectives, and have acquired an abundance of Frida swag that colors my life and reminds me to be bold, and courageous - just as Frida lived and loved.
This is a stunning ode to the life of an amazing woman. The struggles and pain she endured throughout her life didn't stop her from being her best, bold self, and I loved learning more about this incredible icon.
The book beautiful captures a life well lived, despite many setbacks. It delves into what Frida would think of her life being so speculated and celebrated now, and how her face is everywhere from keychains, to tote bags, even on wine bottle... would she have embraced social media or would she have hated it. It's fun to think what she would do with life in 2021, and it's inspiring to follow lessons she continues to teach us.
Be bold. Have sex. Eat good food. Be colorful. Have more sex. Take baths. Drink tequila. But most importantly, be yourself.
I loved the audio of this one so much. The narration is incredible and really fun to follow. Quotes and list are scattered throughout and really make it an enjoyable listen.

Good read but I found each chapter to be repetitive, as if the book was a handbook rather than something one should read cover to cover. I grew tired of hearing the same info repeated several times and moved on.
I liked learning more about Frida but I did not really like the author's editorials.
