Worthy

I picked up this book with a lot of expectations most of which aren't great...But Jada proved me wrong;she not only took responsibility of her fair share/ or the part she played that brought about some of the misfortunes that had befallen her and those around her..She addressed these issues with so much care and compassion for everyone involved.I love the fact that she stuck to the concept of the book——“it was her story to tell and she didn't complicate it by trying to decipher other people's feelings or involvement in some situations that scarred her for example that entanglement issue.While she chose to be vulnerable..I love that she respected all those involved and left other parts of the story as it was not her responsibility to share those even though she was actively involved in some of these events “
I love this book.

This has become one of my favorite books. I chose to ignore all the bad comments I heard and read online and go into this with an open mind. Worthy is so much more than just another celebrity memoir. I found so much value in the inspirational quotes she included and the exercises she promotes for personal growth. I highly recommend this book. I encourage you to go into it with an open mind and an open heart as I did, and I'm sure you will get some positive notes to take with you on your life's journey.

3.25/5 - I love Jada and have loved her since I was a kid...however, I don't feel like I gained any additional knowledge about her that I already didn't know. What I learned is she settled for a life she didn't want to appease everyone around her, including her husband. She became a Hollywood Step-ford wife and hasn't been happy since. And she has taken a lot of bullets for Will that I believe she shouldn't have and lost her identity in the process.
With Will's book, I felt like I learned about him and everyone around him was the supporting cast. With Jada's book, I learned more about everyone around her with Jada being the supporting cast. The last 12% of the book peaked my interest, but it was not enough. Like Will's book, they left out a lot about their almost 30 years of marriage, but I was able to read between the lines more with Jada's POV, to where I'm satisfied.
