Summary
Actress and author of the New York Times bestseller Down Came the Rain, Brooke Shields, explores her relationship with her unforgettable mother, Teri, in her new memoir.
I have conflicting emotions about this book. There were moments where I genuinely sympathized with Brooke Shields as she dealt with her alcoholic mother. However, there were also times when I couldn't help but think, "Come on, seriously... you're such a drama queen! Move on!" The true story of her feelings towards her mother only becomes apparent towards the end of the book. It's a complex love/hate/love relationship, and there are instances where Brooke comes across as overly self-absorbed. Honestly, I'm torn. I both liked and disliked it, and I found myself feeling sorry for her while also being annoyed by her. As I mentioned, my feelings are mixed. It seems like much of what she wrote would have been more appropriate to discuss with a therapist rather than sharing it with the world.
Brooke was absolutely the right person to narrate this incredible story. With her personal experiences and genuine emotions, she brings authenticity to the narrative, making the listeners feel connected to her long and eventful journey. It's evident that her career has been filled with triumphs and occasional chaos, adding an exciting dimension to the storytelling. I truly enjoyed it!
