I enjoyed some of Olivia's behind-the-scenes stories from her career, but the book could’ve used better editing. A few chapters felt repetitive. Still, if you're a fan, it’s worth checking out for the insights.

Not What I Expected
I was really looking forward to this book, but it felt a bit disjointed at times. There were parts that were engaging, yet others felt too scattered. I wish there was a bit more focus on her acting career instead of just personal life.

Interesting but Slow at Times
There are some really poignant moments in Olivia's story, but I felt the pacing dragged a bit in the middle. Still, it's worth a read if you’re a fan of classic films or curious about life after such a big role.
