"Enthralling."--Robin Young, NPR's Here and Now
"To Moore's great credit, she tells her story frankly but also with
dignity, tact and generosity toward the important people in her
life.... This discretion is emblematic of a memoir that is
sometimes shocking but never salacious.... The actress in person
proves to be very much like the woman on the page: thoughtful,
questioning, at times openly insecure, but also forthright, often
bracingly so. ... Is it OK that I'm here? That question
seems to linger, along with How did I get here? If the
book is intended, consciously or not, as an answer to both, it's a
good and strong one."--Bruce Handy, Wall Street
Journal
"A candid personal narrative, in which Moore fills in not only the
details surrounding the most visible parts of her history ... but
the portions of her life that she once fought to protect.... It is
surprising to see such self-revelation from any prominent Hollywood
actress--let alone one with Moore's particular accomplishments and
setbacks."--Dave Itzkoff, New York Times
"Her story is equal parts adversity and resilience, told with
candor."--Barbara Vandenburgh, USA Today
"What you get from this book that you can't get anywhere else isn't
the rags-to-riches story but rather the honest and arresting way
she details her slow drift into a different kind of emotional
poverty, the sort that only decades of tabloid harassment and
unchecked trauma can alchemize. She narrates, with the precision of
a butcher's knife, her divorces, addiction, and eventual isolation,
but from this she pulls forth her most potent character yet: a
fully formed, gives-no-fucks woman of wisdom."--Lena Dunham,
Harper's Bazaar
"The actress gets candid in a way few modern A-listers have....
Poignant."--People
"Astonishingly candid.... A fabulously frank and well-written book
and, after such rollercoaster of a ride one finds oneself in awe of
Moore for determinedly clinging on."--The Sunday Times
"Affecting.... A forthright revelation of hard-won
survival."--Kirkus Reviews
“I'll say this for Moore: She's got issues, and she's made
mistakes -- but in this book, she owns them. Fiercely....You want
juicy details? That's what you expect in a celebrity memoir, and
you certainly get them here....But you also get something you
almost never find in a celebrity memoir: candor."--Tina Jordan,
New York Times Book Review
