Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up by Selma Blair
3.0
"Selma means battlefield. Blair means Helmet of God. I've been geared for battle my whole life."
Mean Baby is quite the rollercoaster ride. It's wild how sometimes a person's birth name can feel it was meant to given to them, due to its meaning, based on their molded personality and life's journey. There's a number of internal and external battles that Selma unveils from childhood to now.
Although I did enjoy this book, I have to give it 3.5 stars because the passages felt disjointed at times. She makes it known that she has short-term memory loss. So I'm not sure if it plays a part in the structure of the book.
