How did the narrator detract from the book?
I didn't care for the narrator at all. Her voice sounded like a 20 something trying to tell a 40 something story. It also seemed that the narrator didn't have experience quoting Bible verses as they were most definitely being rehearsed and not natural sounding.
What did you learn from Swan Dives Are Not in My DNA that you would use in your daily life?
Not much. Honestly, I was disappointed that it all boiled down to a personality test.

In This Is Me, Chrissy Metz shares her story with a raw honesty that will leave listeners both surprised but also inspired. Infused with the same authenticity she brings to her starring role, Chrissy's This Is Me is so much more than your standard Hollywood memoir or collection of personal essays. She embraces the spirit of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes and shares how she has applied the lessons she learned from both setbacks and successes. A born entertainer, Chrissy finds light in even her darkest moments and leaves the listener feeling they are spending time with a friend who gets it.

What did you love best about This Is Me?
This isn't just a memoir, it's a book to encourage people to embrace acceptance. And Chrissy does a great job doing it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of This Is Me?
Lunch with Oprah.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed a lot, but I cried too. The end of the book had me in tears.
Any additional comments?
My background is similar to Chrissy's in many ways, so it was validating for me to hear her side of the story. I felt like I had sat down to catch up with an old friend... and I didn't want it to end. Excellent job Chrissy! I loved the audio so much that I bought the book too. :-)
