It's Messy
It's Messy: On Boys, Boobs, and Badass Women | Amanda de Cadenet
5 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
In this deeply personal collection of essays, creator of the The Conversation Amanda de Cadenet shares the hard-won advice and practical insights shes gained through her experiences as businesswoman, friend, wife, and mother. Amanda is on a mission to facilitate conversations that allow all women to be seen, heard, and understood. Through her multimedia platform The Conversation, she interviews some of todays most bad ass womenfrom Hillary Clinton to Lady Gagain no-holds-barred conversations that get to the heart of what means to be female. Now, in Its Messy, Amanda offers readers an extension of that conversation, inviting them into her life and sharing her own story. From childhood fame to a high-profile marriage (and divorce) to teen motherhood to the sexism that threatened to end her career before it started, Amanda shares the good, the bad, and the messy of her life, synthesizing lessons shes learned along the way. Through it all, she offers an original perspective as a feminist on the front lines of celebrity culture. Edgy, irreverent, poignant and provocative, Its Messy addresses the issues, concerns, and experiences relevant to women today.

Enjoying the outdoors with a beer and this gem of a book! This memoir is a roller coaster ride of incredibly relatable life scenarios with a straightforward no nonsense approach including very vulnerable and real accounts of Amanda de Cadenet‘s life. Although I‘m not familiar with her or her British famous family, the juxtaposition of upper crust life and the literal gutter is badass in itself. Additionally, she uplifts the feminine as a whole.

I was curious about this because I know Amanda de Cadenet‘s work, but this book was a let-down for me. Her writing isn‘t great, her stories are trite, and she uses a lot of clichés and outdated advice. I‘d skip it and just watch her interviews.

This appeared in the mail today. I can't remember if I talked to the publisher about it or not but it definitely looks like something I'll enjoy! #feminism #badasswomen
