I checked this book out from my local library because I had heard good things.
Anderson was witty and honest as she detailed her journey to stardom. I found her insights about the Playboy house fascinating. I also was unaware of how exactly she started her journey as a Playmate and eventually to actress. The details she shared were both entertaining and helped inform me as an outsider to how Anderson approached her career.
I also enjoyed how she discussed her various relationships and marriages with self-reflective frankness. Also, hearing her perspective on (the truth of) the sex tape scandal highlights how the news media, especially in the 2000s, sought to destroy women.
If Anderson ever starts a book club I will definitely sign up because she has such eclectic and exciting books that she's read and I really liked how she would discuss an event from her life and then relate it to something she read. It made the book feel more conversational in nature.
The only thing I was not 100% sold on in the book was the poetry. It wasn't bad poetry I just did not like the switching between poetry and prose at times.
