⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Love is the quality of attention we pay to things.”
In this candid and multi-faceted book that skilfully weaves storytelling with her poetry, Pamela Anderson challenges the conventions of the typical celebrity memoir, reclaiming the narrative crafted around her. Rising to fame as the blond bombshell of the 1990s, discovered in the stands of a football game, she became Playboy's iconic cover girl and a symbol of Hollywood glamour and sensuality.
But what happens when you lose grip on your own life - and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you are?
Love, Pamela was such a surprise read. I didn't grow up knowing much about Pamela Anderson, who she was or what she did. I don’t think I knew much about the 'tape,' or her modelling career, or her activism. What inspired me to read this book was all the media and press coverage surrounding the series “Pam and Tommy”.
I think this book will open people’s eyes to Pamela, what her work means to her and how she is so much more than what the media portrays her as. This is an honest autobiography and has not been ghostwritten, this is just her story, her life, her memories, formatted how she wants it to be formatted with the inclusion of her poetry.
I read this whilst on the tube and spending a couple of days down in London, it was a quick and easy read, but I would happily have conversation and engage in conversations about Pamela and her media portrayal now. I’ve no negativity about the book and I’d still recommend people who know more about her to give it a chance.
