Run Like A Badass

I have been a fan of Shannen Doherty since her 90210 breakthrough with her character Brenda Walsh that has been an inspiration as a strong woman standing by her word and standing for something most girls wouldn't. Since I am from South Africa I couldn't find this book anywhere but I eventually ordered it online and a friend of mine brought it back from the USA. On with what I got from this book, the opening cover pulled me in, " Living Like A Badass Means Never Having To Say Say You Are Sorry." and when she said that it is not a memoir, a tell-all, but a but I beg to differ since she does open up about her beginning in the industry and the media, and what life has taught her about herself and about others. What was great for me she didn't mention any castmates or anyone that did things to her, we know the media had painted Shannen a badass, what I like is that she doesn't pretend or deny anything she accepts who she was and pulled from that for her inner strength. She immersed from everything that was written about her in the media. She is as real and authentic in her writing and you can see it throughout the pages. Some of the experiences she shares truly helps knowing that one doesn't have to treat others how they treat you instead you take the high road and let them be. What strike me is that besides being a badass there is a softness to Shannen on how she felt all the words others has written about her. She is an icon of the 90's, her life was in the public eye. But you can also read that she is a private person and only wanted to live her life. She was in her early 20's when all those things went down and somehow she was written in such away for people to hate the character of Brenda. I highly recommend this book, it can definitely make a for a great book club read even though it was written in the era between 2016 & 2017 , but there is growth and lots of wisdom and great gems.

Like not love

Even tho I’m a huge Shannen doherty fan, this book said the word “badass” one to many times. It got to the point where it was so repetitive it was annoying. But I liked the pictures in it
