Drew Barrymore’s memoir is filled with tales of her chaotic childhood, her emancipation from her parents at the age of 14(!), her wild teenage years and stories of those who cared, guided and loved her along the way. We also see how Drew’s perseverance brought her to her current life that includes motherhood and a solid and loving marriage. I admire her for not repeating what was done to her. Many people simply don’t have the strength but she did and does.
p.s. I have to mention that the cover of this book is beautiful. The background color, the font, her dress and most importantly Drew’s expression of simultaneous calm and joy, are all perfection.
