Cry for Me, Argentina: My Life as a Failed Child Star

Entertaining as hell and so vulnerable and truthful. I loved this book. No doubt you've seen reviews that mention "laugh out loud" funny but I can't even count how many times I literally did that while reading. The situations are unbelievable, or would be if they weren't real. But Tamara's voice is consistently so down to earth, the telling unfolds so freely and naturally, I just ate it up, always hungry to find out what would happen next. It's a lovely and hopeful tale and so very satisfying.

The author presents her inner life as a migrant child. Although her quest for performance fame and weirdly sexual early exposure are unique, the view of her families foibles is direct and frequently humorous.

Raunchy, funny, smart. I rarely review anything, but I really liked this book.
