Nice Girls Don't Win by Parvati Shallow

emotional reflective fast-paced

---

Such an enjoyable read (which, for someone who is a big fan of Parvati and Survivor is no surprise haha 🥰). I can’t imagine writing a memoir is easy, especially for someone who doesn’t typically write books (which is why I feel weird giving it a rating so I just decided not to), but Parvati did a good job painting an overview picture of her life and adding moments of reflection. There were some moments where I wanted it to go a little deeper, and others where I felt there may be more to the story, but I know writing and sharing something like this is so hard and vulnerable and I’m grateful for what Parvati did share. It was lovely to see her reclaim her power and her sense of self, and reflect on the inner work she was and is doing while in the public eye. Also, the way she wrote about Mae made my heart melt a little bit and it was really nice to hear about the start and development of their relationship ahhhh. If you’re a Survivor fan, a Parvati fan, or a reality competition show fan, I would definitely recommend!! ❤️
