My Thoughts Exactly by Lily Allen
3.0
adventurous dark reflective tense fast-paced

I thought listening to the audiobook would be like listening to a podcast interview. But, instead, it was boring. I hesitate to use the word monotonous but, that is kinda what it was. Maybe I've grown and don't love celeb memoirs anymore because they're all kinda monotonous, in the same way. It was rote, and followed the average script. Maybe part of it, too, is that she's what, in her 30s, writing a memoir? It smacks of cash grabbing, to me. Although she has led an interesting life. Childhood wound, drug use, catastrophic sex life, vascillations on and off the wagon, choosing better and worse partners. I like Lily Allen. This felt a bit like, how they always say, don't meet your heroes. One thing I didn't know about her was all the stalking from her crazy fan(s) .
