Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve

This was an awesome read for me. I was inspired, moved and encouraged by Drew's story. I will definitely recommend this book to everyone. I admired Drew before and even more after reading this. She is an awesome advocate for women, femmes and I hope she continues doing what she does for years to come.

Props to writing a book, because so many people cannot manage it. However, if you're a fan of the energy from her online content, it doesn't fully make the translation into the written form.

I think the content is great for teenagers and anyone who's just dipping their toes into the ideas Drew discusses, but unfortunately most of it feels surface level, introductory. I also would have liked to hear more real world studies and initiatives referenced to balance the personal stories, but I suppose it is a memoir.

I'm glad she chose to narrate herself! It's always nice to hear celebrities give their own voice to the words they've written.

Drew is definitely one of the good things that have come out of TikTok, and when it goes she will definitely be here to stay. 
This book touched on a bit of everything when it comes to Drew's life before and after TikTok fame. Reflecting on her pick me self, and the growth she has done as an individual, Her place within samoan culture, Decentering men in society, and letting us into more of her personal life when it came to her relationship with her family and boyfriend. 
My favorite part was Drew explaining her relationship with her sister. If you didn't know Drew's older sister Deison is a lesbian (and also HILARIOUS). She spoke about how Deison came out to her, and her behavior that followed. How it took sometime to mend that relationship. I thought it was very sincere, and spoke to the growth Drew went through to get to where she is now. 
Some parts were repetitive, but within the content it was good to bring up again. 
I was hoping to hear that contagious laugh in the audiobook!!! 
But overall I absolutely enjoyed learning more about one of my favorite influencers!
