Writing: 4.5 stars
The writing was excellent, but Billie Jean did have an uncredited writer. However, the writing was from the heart, passionate, and raw.
My biggest issue with this memoir was that it was long, detailed, and needed some serious editing. This is not my memoir - it is BJK's though!!!
Narration: 5.0 stars
Billie Jean King was a fantastic narrator. It was obvious that she was raised to be a good and kind person and always wanted to be the "good girl". This was the societal message that female Baby Boomers learned at a very young age. She is emotional at appropriate parts in the memoir which made me appreciate her even more.
Character Arc: 5.0 stars
The audiobook is told chronologically which is how I prefer memoirs and autobiographies to be written.
Memorable: 4.5 stars
The biggest takeaway for me is all the social justice that Billie Jean accomplished has almost all been overturned due to the #45 presidency. The book ended around President Biden's election. So this memoir ended on a very positive note.
Entertaining: 4.5 stars
This memoir was entertaining per se, but it was educational as I was from a different generation than Billie Jean so I didn't know all she accomplished. I am very grateful to her and her female peers for all they did for DEI.
