If you like Lea Michele and want to be more like her, then you will love this book. It's a mix of personal stories, health and beauty advice, and recipes. I enjoyed reading about her stints on Broadway, her love of Barbra, and some behind-the-scenes stories about "Glee." And I appreciate her commitment to clean, healthy living, about which she shares many tips. She hardly touches at all on losing Cory Monteith--she really focuses on the positive. I love Lea Michele and I enjoyed learning about her big break and how she got her start in acting. I mostly enjoyed chapters on self-care and everyday style however my problem with those chapters is the same as my problem with the entire book. I was amazed to read that she works 17 hour days, has hobbies, works out, eats healthy, pampers herself, focuses on style and maintains a social life with close friends and, at the time, Cory. The book was cute and I loved all the photos, recipes and at-home skincare tips. The little parts she dedicated to Cory at the beginning and end of the book were heartwarming and I was surprised to hear he had such a big impact on the editing of the book.
