Jennifer Lopez's book about her world tour and how it came about. She explains her playlist why she chose the songs she did. Wardrobe changes and who made the various dresses and the color she chose. She also talks about choreography and the person she picked to do the job. It also is a little about her life. She states early in the book that this book is not a tell all, and is not. She does talk about he marriage to Marc and very little about those she dated or married. ( )

4.5/5 Stars

Thoughts of the book when I was 41% in

Went into this not quite sure what to expect and not really expecting to get past the first few pages. Glad I was wrong and stuck with it...It had my attention since the first page and kept it.

But, for those who haven't read it but may be thinking about it, don't go into it expecting it to be a tell all about her life, relationships etc. She doesn't give details of all of that...she basically speaks on the things she's learned through her life and how she learned them..What made her think about things differently..etc. It has me wanting to get into more autobiographies/memoirs again.

This is maybe the second book that I have picked up by someone that I am not a huge fan of but ended up coming out with a new outlook about that person (don't remember the first person right now)...It's not that I totally dislike her, because I don't, I can just say I am not a fan of her music..And I've enjoyed the movies I've watched with her in it..So, if I were a fan of anything she does, it would be her movies!

But I can say I was happy for her when she got married to Marc and had her babies..I remember wanting that relationship between them to work for her and for things to be easier and smoother for her in the relationship area..

Edited Thoughts Once I Finished:
Well, I can say that all of the above still applies & I can't really add much to it but I can say this book came into my life at the perfect time. It wasn't a coincidence. I believe this came to me because I needed it right here right now in my life. So many of the things she has talked about in this book I have felt and/or been through. I knew it was time for things to change in my life but didn't know how to do it; many times, I still don't and I am 40 years old as of this post.

It made me realize even more that although I do like myself, I don't really and truly love myself the way I should. If I did, there would be a lot of things I wouldn't tolerate, do or put myself through. She gave me a new hope in this book to make the changes in my life that I need to make, even when it's the most difficult. To seek that Clarity that I said I was going for in 2015 (I am reading the Holy Bible app that has devotions, and one of those devotions says to pick ONE WORD that will represent this year, and that ONE WORD is Clarity. Since I've been on my way to growing better as a person, I saw this ONE WORD "Challenge" as a way to ADD to my growth process).

This book was really and truly a confirmation for me that I am on the right path. I see the changes I have made in my life, but sometimes, I'd still beat myself up because I feel like I should be further along, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc., but I don't beat up on myself in many areas as much as I used to. And she confirmed that for me as well.

This book is still really raw in me right now and I'm not quite sure what's going to happen, how my life is going to change or what path my life is going to go on but I know that I have to do my best in that moment to push through what I'm going through and try to learn from it!

I said I didn't have much to add to it didn't I?!?! lol...But, if you read all of this, I thank you for taking time to do so! ( )

Surprisingly well-written. ( )

Non certo da premio Pulitzer, ma comunque onesta autobiografia degli anni più recenti della cantante americana e del suo periodo dopo il (terzo) divorzio.
Consigliabile solo ai veri fans di J.Lo.... ( )

I will say right upfront that I am not a Jennifer Lopez fan, and I didn't change my mind after reading this book. I had hoped there would be something in there that would make me like her .... but no. This is the story of her very stressful period of time when she broke up with Marc Anthony and decided to go on tour for the very first time(!). We get all of the details of how and why she chose to sing the songs that she did on the tour, and the book is sprinkled with lyrics from her songs (laughable), as well as lovely pictures of her on stage in flamboyant costumes and flying hair, plus full-page displays of many of her pithy comments about life. Her philosophy of life - and what she "finally" learned about herself after a year of contemplation - can be summed up in two words: Love Yourself. I will say one positive thing about her, however - she does seem to love her kids a lot. Despite all of this soul-baring, to me she still seems like a vacuous woman who thinks that "everybody in the world" is fascinated by her life. If you're a fan (seriously??), you'll like the book. Otherwise, forget it. ( )
