I knew almost nothing about Selma Blair before reading this book-- I just thought she was a cool and chic it-girl of the early 2000s. But man, she is pretty weird. Her honesty in this book is incredible, major content warnings in this one. Listening to the audiobook was a bit jarring due to the sheer amount of times she cried while reading it (it felt like at least once a chapter, typically more). I did find the book very interesting, but since I'm not a huge fan of hers it didn't have a lasting impact on me.
