Welcome to Litsy!

3.5/5
Is Pinkett-Smith the tough, no-nonsense woman the media portrays her as? Maybe. But she has earned it through years of life experience and a continued commitment to personal growth. It was really eye opening to learn about all of her earlier experiences and challenges.

There was something slightly preachy and self-help-y to her between chapter blurbs, which threw me a bit, but they're just short bits to an otherwise interesting read.

3.5⭐️/5⭐️

Powerful and insightful. This book was surprisingly great.

I didn't love it; I didn't hate it. It was just okay overall for me.

Jada is open about many things, and I appreciate her taking responsibility, but something in her style with this memoir just didn't connect for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ How the cycles of childhood chaos seep into adulthood were the most thoughtfully executed and most relatable passages. The rest was just ok. Seemed like a lot of explaining things away. And personally, I could not care less about ayahuasca or any other sanctimonious spiritual journeys, but it‘s not my story. It‘s Jada‘s to tell however she pleases. That‘s the beauty of memoir. Stop being surprised when they are self serving.

I loved Jada's take on a lot of things. I'm definitely happy she shared her story. It was relatable, some gut wrenching parts but it helped you understand why she's the way she is. She's never given grace and she's blamed for a lot of things that she shouldn't be. She took accountability and was very transparent. She addressed their separation, the entanglement and the slap. It wasn't messy, it was honesty. worthy #jadapinkettsmith

It‘s so beautiful written. Currently on Chapter 7 and what she‘s been through and able to talk about is brave. #worthy #jadapinkettsmith
