Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life

Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life

This is cute, but nothing more than that. Probably the dullest biography I've read so far.
I'm not sure if it's because of how it's written, which parts of her life she chose to talk about or simply because her past isn't that interesting. If you write a book about your life and talk about your teeth (and the same tooth, really) twice in it, I'm not sure if you have a lot to talk about. Or if you really want to talk about any of it.

The most interesting parts of it were about her trauma-ridden childhood and her struggling and coming to terms with the fact that her mother's behaviour was extremely violate, and that her father didn't quite do enough for her. Due to her chaotic early years she seems to have become a very controlled person, a workaholic and in a way, a perfectionist.

I listened to this as an audiobook and Julianna's voice is very soothing and I enjoy listening to her. I did listen to it on 1.4x pace though, and it was still easily understandable, so I'd say listening to it on 1x might drag on.
