Review: (Shoulder’s Back, Titties First Edition)

Jennifer definitely told her truth in this book… Abuse, living in poverty, parental issues, coping,Mental health, and sexuality (that’s just a brief synopsis of some of the issues you will see) The ins and outs of Hollywood. My favorite part definitely was the honest journal entries… The relationship lessons definitely eye opening and she got real when she talked about men not prioritizing her and why she would not just settle for a ring… Baby she has 4! Actions speak louder than words! If you like memoirs and reading or listening to others stories who live in their own truth… Read this book! (I read along while listening to the audio to immerse myself in this experience.)
