Not only does she come off as very genuine, but she is likeable! As you’re reading (or listening in my case) to this book, you realize that she has a never give up sort of attitude and I think that’s how she’s come so far. Leah has had such an interesting life, and you just can’t help but love her. To be frank, this book is a memoir of her life and not all about Scientology, however that was a major part of most of her life, so yes there is a LOT about it in this book. I’ve been really into learning about the cult of Scientology lately and after watching Leah’s expose on A&E, I knew I had to pick up this book. I subscribed to Audible for a month through Amazon and got 2 books for free through the trial. Review of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology by Leah Remini and Rebecca Paley ![]() |
