As a spiritual person, I hold people to the same standard that I hold myself to. If I can learn to love myself snd forgive myself, I can learn to love and accept Lea Michele for all that she is. That’s why I picked up Brunette Ambition, I wanted to understand her and her perspective primarily on the Glee days. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn anything new about her and I would love a more personal insight into her story and who she is as a person. Every thing in this book can be found with a simple Google search. Unlike with Naya’s book where I felt like I knew her and felt so much closer to her, I feel miles away from Lea. However, I enjoyed her dedication to self care and the random recipes and tips throughout the book were enjoyable to read. The most heart warming part of this book was the little message for Cory and the entire passage dedicated to her best friend Jonathan Groff. I fully understand that Lea didn’t want to go into depth about her grief when Cory passed as the this book was released that same year, but in the future I would love to see her write something more personal.
