Leah Remini is nothing but honest in her tell all tale. She doesn't shy away from admitting her mistakes. She knows she isn't perfect and she doesn't care.
This is the second book I have read about someone escaping scientology and again it all ties together, its interesting to see the prospective of someone within the celebrity centre who was higher up than most.
I really respect Leah remini for her ongoing search for Shelly miscaviage and her work to bring scientology to justice and it really shows how much she has grown from her start in this book.
0.75* knocked off because I did find her discussion around her acting career slightly boring but that's me, I never saw Kings of queens so her comments about her career went over my head,
Overall though an enjoyable read about escaping/leaving the cult of scientology
