I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm adopted, so I enjoy reading books about the journeys of other adopted people. This was a good read, almost seemed like a mystery at first! I kept wondering who his biological parents were. Honest story, well told. I just wondered why he called his parents ( the people that raised him) by their first names. To me, my biological parents are birth mom and dad, the folks that adopted me are mom and dad. And I lost both of them by the time I was 14, so my 'mom' now is the one I've had the longest!

Worth reading, even if you aren't adopted. After all, we all have our own stories!

Well written and kept my interest even though I'm not usually interested in comments about celebrities. A strange view into Hollywood culture. Things happen there that you don't often hear about. Recommended.

I was attracted to this book by the cover and the premise. As I was reading, I found the story to be disjointed, and the narrator to be rather unlikeable. This book read like a summary of events, without a lot of descriptive details, and it jumped around so that the timeline was difficult to follow. The author's note at the end provided a bit of clarity about his choice for writing his memoir as he did, but I feel that that should have been at the beginning of the book.
