A review by mackenziewrites
Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson

inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

 

I listened to this audiobook after a recommendation from @PelotonMomsBookClub and shout-out to whoever shared it. I had just finished watching Pam and Tommy on @hulu and realized that she had no part in that so I wanted to hear her own version of her life and that series of events. Spoiler alert – the show gets the timeline all wrong. 

 

I was apprehensive at first because Pamela narrates it herself and her voice is very breathy and at the time I was fighting an ear infection and my hearing was muffled. I stuck with it and am so happy I did – she is such an interesting person. She didn’t have the best childhood – relatable. She was constantly oversexualized and scrutinized by men which continued even after she decided to own it – also relatable. Her slow simple life living in a trailer park watching her boys surf every morning is exactly the kind of mom I aspire to be. Her work in activism standing up for the planet and all of its living creatures is such an admirable use of her celebrity status. Her scene-writing is so descriptive, letting you easily conjure up the visuals in your mind. Super happy with this audiobook that left me wanting a lavender lemonade.
