If there’s one thing Scientologists and non-Scientologists (*read ~sane~ people*) can both agree upon, it’s that Leah Remini has some serious balls. She is loud-mouthed, no bullshit, and as honest as they come. She even talks about why in the beginning she genuinely believed in Scientology with an earnestness that makes it believable. She believed in the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, but started to see through the cracks at *gasp* Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s star-studded wedding. Once she saw how deep Cruise’s friendship was with David Miscaviage, Hubbard’s successor as the leader of the Church, she started to question who was really the man behind the curtain.

I will be honest, sometimes her voice narration began to irritate me, but I think even Leah would admit that after a while her voice begins to annoy. I would listen to this book in chunks on Audible and found myself really enthralled each time I dove in. Some of her family stuff became confusing, especially with Angelo, her husband.
