In February our nonfiction group read is Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me by Lily Collins. You chose this via poll (results here).

Description:
In this groundbreaking debut essay collection, featuring never-before-seen photos, actress Lily Collins—star of Mortal Instruments and the upcoming Rules Don’t Apply—is opening a poignant, honest conversation about the things young women struggle with: body image, self-confidence, relationships, family, dating, and so much more.

Has anyone read this? Seen anything Lily Collins is in?

I saw her in a movie and became interested in this book, as I adored her acting and in seeing her on late-night interviews thought she was an interesting human. I really identified with her dialog on struggles as a perfectionist (and her eating disorder).

I gave it 5 stars-- it's not the most beautifully written (grammar and such wise) book that I've read; it's raw and I thought a lot about my own struggles reading it. I also loved the fact that we come from very different family/background situations, and yet still the things we went through mentally were very similar.
