Read Between the Lines: From the Diary of a Teenage Mom by Jenelle Evans
4.0
Sticking with the autobiographies so I grabbed this. I watch Teen Mom 2 religiously and Jenelle Evans is the most controversial cast member so I wanted to give her book a go and see if she’s just a misunderstood Mum.
In this book she reveals diary entries from when she was a young girl up until the point her life went downhill with drugs which we witness on the show. This book didn’t change my opinion on her, I still think she needs to improve her way of life dramatically. There’s a section in the book where her mum apparently encourages her to go out, party and enjoy herself and upon her return she is served with custody papers of her son. The way she describes what happened in her diaries is that her mum tricked her and stole her son but when watched the MTV show you can clearly see this isn’t the case. Shows are manipulated to make the viewer see something else I understand that, but there’s no way this was the case.
The book was an interesting read if you watch Teen Mom 2 just to get into the mind of Jenelle Evans and I’m glad I picked it up.
