Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me
by Lily Collins
I decided to try something different from what I usually read and this particular memoir has always captured my attention. Though I wouldn’t say that I’m a diehard Lily Collins fan, I am familiar with her work and movies. And I chose to read Unfiltered because I felt as though it would be the easiest to relate to because Lily is not much older than I am.
After reading this book, I can definitely say that Lily is every bit as classy, kind, and well-rounded as I thought she would be. She is a great role model and many young girls can learn a lot from what she has to say in terms of love, body image, family, and more.
The only negative thing I can say is that it wasn’t exactly anything out of the ordinary for me and because of that, nothing really stuck out to me personally. Since I am 23 years old, I had my fair share of experiences in my life when it came to some of these things, and reading Unfiltered was like reading stuff I already knew and lived by so it felt very... repetitive in a way? I didn’t take away anything new from it and a lot of times I found myself drifting off because I didn’t really... “care” for what she had to say at times since it came off as just common sense to me.
But that personally applies to just me and what I got from this book. It doesn’t make what Lily has to say any less true or relatable. Younger audiences will definitely have more to take away from this book than I did. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about Lily and her struggles growing up. Her journey and transformation was very inspirational and I can clearly see why she’s the beautiful young lady she is now that just radiates elegance and confidence.
