As a loyal memoir-hater, I feel like I'm turning my back on my true self by saying this but this book is an eye-opener in so many ways.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just evolving.

Or maybe this is different from every other celebrity's and politician's memoir that I've tried (and failed) to even get a fraction of the way into.

So far, this is the least boring memoir I’ve ever read in my life (not that I’ve read many but still)
