Worthy by Jada Pinkett Smith
3.5
hopeful informative slow-paced

 I’ve never been on the recent Jada hate train. I think memoirs are for airing it all out, the good and the bad. 

“I have to point out, when a man, any man, commits a displeasing act, how bizarre it is that a woman can be fully to blame. How is it that a woman can be so irrelevant and culpable at the same time? It’s absolutely mind-boggling and quite a fascinating riddle.”

Here, we learn about her Baltimore upbringing, eclectic-ness, parenting style, abandonment issues, spirituality drawn from multiple religions, a fateful night with ayahuasca, and, of course, the men in her life. This book truly centers on Jada, letting her voice be heard. 

The focus on spirituality is constant and intense, and we see the trials, errors, and setbacks it has taken to get Jada to this point of contentment.

i think the prenup is the only reason they haven't divorced. they have shown they can be amicable with each other without being romantically tied. why stay married in a miserable marriage? they have a great love for each other but don't seem compatible
