Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @bookbugbitten using @RepostRegramApp – #BBBreviews • QOTD: Do you like to read memoirs? • • Reading ‘Close to the Bone’ by Lisa Ray has made me realise how differently all of us lead our lives, it’s almost unreal how all of us have adventures of our own. I hadn’t read the book for a long time because of this preconceived notion that ‘stars’ are superficial, writing about artificial and less important things. But Lisa really did change that for me, she has written extensively about her body issues, anxiety, journey towards Buddhism, adapting to a different culture altogether, relationships and her cancer. The book in no way is an ‘overcoming cancer triumphant tale’, it reflects on the ugly side of it gracefully, how tough times call for tough people, and moreover I think it has taught me a little about how self love is a way of life. Lisa’s story made me laugh, she doesn’t pretend to know her words she is just herself throughout the book, it was almost like she is talking to you through the pages. And lastly, I could relate to her words because most of it reflected with my life too, the struggles of an only child, always looking for brighter pastures, ambition, escapism and the never give up attitude. Any book that could feel like a part of me is a book I love. • • My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 @closetothebone.book @lisaraniray #closetothebone #lisaray #bookstagram #harpercollins #bookstagramindia #igreads
