Inside Out by Demi Moore

challenging dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

5.0

I was browsing through nonfiction books came across this one. I only knew of a few films that Demi Moore starred in and I knew she was married to Bruce Willis and later married Ashton Kutcher. I knew nothing else. I had no idea I would be able to relate to her so much during her childhood years. Her upbringing could have easily been mine had my mom went down the same route as Demi’s mom and in some ways she did. I wanted to reach through the book and hung Demi so many times. Her childhood was rough! Most of the book is about her childhood and what she went through and then her getting into show business. I found her relationship with Bruce and then with Ashton very insightful. I know it’s only one side of the relationships but I felt like she was very raw and took ownership in her own faults as to why the relationships didn’t work out. Demi struggled with addiction which is another thing I didn’t know much about. Seeing her fight that battle was very eye opening and even fighting with herself over her body image. At one point in the book she mentioned how she put everyone else before her and tried to be the opposite of her mom and I felt that so much.  This book was a lot! Demi is so strong and it was very brave of her to talk about her life from start until the age of 55. I hope her life is brighter from here on out, she deserves it 🫶
