When the stars put it down on paper, we’ll pour ourselves a glass of wine and curl up on the couch to read it! Here are six recent celebrity memoirs worth reading.
Thicker Than Water by Kerry Washington ($30, shop here)
In Thicker Than Water, readers get an intimate look inside the public and private world of Scandal star Kerry Washington, a mother, wife, artist, advocate, and trailblazer. The pages will take you on a journey through challenges, setbacks, childhood trauma, a growing career, becoming a star, and using her platform to become a political advocate, all the while displaying her truest self. This moving book is guaranteed to inspire readers.
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears ($32.99, shop here)
If you’re anything like us, you once worked overtime to stay on top of all the Britney drama. While those days are certainly not over, the piping hot tea is now within these pages from the pop princess herself. This book is beautifully written in the sense that you can feel the hurt within her words. The Woman in Me is about freedom, faith, fame, motherhood, survival, and hope.
If You Would Have Told Me: A Memoir by John Stamos ($29.99, shop here)
If you grew up watching Full House, you may have had a celebrity crush on John Stamos. And although he is now a household name, Stamos was once just a kid flipping burgers at his dad’s fast food joint. We love how brutally honest and deeply moving this memoir is, as Stamos shares stories about friendship, loss, and giving love one more chance.
Down the Drain by Julia Fox ($28.99, shop here)
She promised a masterpiece – and she delivered. To call this memoir a whirlwind is to put it lightly. Within the pages, you’ll read about a young Julia Fox (known for her role in the film Uncut Gems) trying to navigate life despite her parents’ tumultuous relations, an abusive boyfriend, jail, working as a dominatrix, and being a mother. There is sex, violence, money, power, and so much more within the pages. It’s raw and beautiful.
Pageboy: A Memoir by Elliot Page ($29.99, shop here)
After the premiere of Juno, the world fell in love with Elliot Page, and his dreams of stardom were coming true. But the pressure to be a glossy starlet was insurmountable, and his reality became more of a nightmare. One day, he decided to change the narrative and do things his way while unknowingly inspiring millions like him.
Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton ($30, shop here)
Most of us are probably familiar with the glitzy life of Paris Hilton (cue that scene from The Simple Life when she asks what Walmart is). But her memoir delves deeper than the picture-perfect façade we’ve seen for years. Readers learn about the hotel heiress’ struggles with ADHD, why her teenage years were so wild, and family drama that, until now, was kept out of the limelight.
