I've finished it a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it . Her life was so wild and made me not take things superficially cuz this woman was suffering at the same time as her fame peaked.

the violations she faced at the hands of her mother were really sad. like she had no agency even into her adulthood. heartbreaking. 💔

shit was absolutely bonkers and tragic. fascinating to listen to her read it and it's written as if she was the age she experienced these things. idk how a parent gets to this place of abuse but w o w

good companion piece to her films and good on its own if you don’t know who she is. Very sad and raw the most emotions I’ve felt in months.

just finished the maggie gyllenhaal audiobook which was so entertaining. so well written and so insightful into the minutiae of being a girl. the magnifying glass she uses to describe her surroundings and feelings! she can't sleep and she can't read! the metaphors!!! so tragic to think how she overcame this but still came to such a sad end :( and even worse to think of how hard she was on herself and how revered she is now

When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.

It's a big NO from me for Espresso and Please Please Please , they were the Dance Monkey of 2024. I swear, I get so uncomfortable whenever either of those songs comes on.
