Everybody's Got Something by Robin Roberts

2.0

Audiobook-

I still can’t allow myself to DNF a book, but this should’ve been the first one I did. I don’t watch GMA, I have no vested interest in RR. I read this book as it was on a list of books suggested for women with breast cancer, as I’m compiling a collection for my mom as she goes through her second battle. Overall, it’s repetitive and mostly boring.

I’m genuinely happy for RR and how she has survived two life threatening illnesses. However, I feel like this book was a who’s who on her friends list and the unlimited amount of resources she had available. In addition to general celebrity status perks, her job security, her large and supportive family, a whole list of celebrities that visited her in the hospital, private jets, her ability to hire anyone for any service she needed. If I was experiencing a life threatening illness this book would be the last thing that provided comfort, it would mostly do the opposite.
