It is always nice to learn more about her and what inspired her. but this book felt very juvenile. I felt like all the info came from various online videos and interviews. I had seen all the pictures before. There was nothing exclusive to this book. I had a cringe on my face the entire time I read it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
