If you like Paula, and you wouldn't even think of renting this if you didn't..... you will love this audiobook. It is extremely interesting, with Paula telling lots of secrets about her personal past. She does an outstanding job of reading, much better than any other audiobook I have ever listened to. This would be my most favorite rental I have received so far!

Goodreads review by joyce g on May 13, 2024

I enjoyed the story more than anticipated, it entails her struggles and triumphs. Truths that are not charming are told but you feel her honesty and how hard it was to tell these truths. Read it if you are a fan, or read it if you are just plain curious as to how she has created the success she has.......more
