I am a woman.

I have loved and been let down.
I am a success and a failure.

User Reviews
Book 4.6
Narration 4.6
-
4.0 3.0
Narration is sometimes a bit flat and tired.
This is a frank account of Allen's life, her trials and tribulations. She is very upfront about her addiction issues, emotional issues, the triggers and solutions.
I liked how it's organised by subject rather than chronological order.
The amount of the stalker issue and the outcome of it is especially standout in this book.ahbuggrit 2026-01-13
