Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

An absolutely stunning memoir that I can't recommend enough. Viola Davis is a star and such a talent that we simply don't deserve. Her ability to write scenes that you can visualize so viscerally and bring out emotions of all kinds is just incredible. Her life has had so many ups and downs and hearing how she has navigated them to become the EGOT winner with such kindness and empathy is mind blowing. If you have access to the audiobook of it I'd definitely suggest that because Viola and her amazing voice narrate it and it does really add an extra layer to the storytelling, but mostly I just suggest reading it period.
