Wow, that was powerful.

I typically don’t gravitate toward non-fiction, but I try to read one book a month in the genre and often lean toward memoirs, especially as audiobooks. It’s the one time I genuinely appreciate authors narrating their own work, as it makes the experience so much more personal.

This book offers a unique and unfiltered insight into the entertainment industry, as well as the emotional toll of having one’s private life exposed—often by the very people who claimed to love them.

Keeley Hazell gets incredibly vulnerable, opening up about deeply personal moments in a way that delivers a powerful reflection on what it means to be a woman in today’s world. I had never heard of her before requesting this book, but now I’ll definitely be seeking out her work. Her authenticity and candor completely won me over.

Her narration was fantastic. She spoke at a perfect pace, which brought the stories to life and added depth to each moment she shared.

The book releases on August 26, 2025, in all formats. If you enjoy memoirs that are equal parts cheeky, tragic, and uplifting, don’t miss this one.

I am thankful to have gotten a complimentary audio ALC from Hachette Audio through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

My general rating system is below. Since I primarily read ARC books I rate according to how I think like minded readers will receive the book. I will round up or down depending on many factors and try not to let my personal wants affect a books ratings.

⭐️ Hated It but pushed through as I don’t DNF ARCs I have received.
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, content issues, poorly edited.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but it had something that stopped me from rounding up. Usually the book may have much more potential than what was given. I recommend it but with reservations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Really enjoyed it or think others will. These are solid reads that I definitely would recommend for a variety of reasons.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! These are books that remain rent free in my head for well after unfinished the book. It can be for a variety of reasons from being very well written or just the vibes that captured my mind. These books are also ones I would probably read again
