For the young ones of the 90's

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Thank goodness this is a library book because it is horrible!

It reads like a young readers edition. She did get a ghostwriter (the woman is listed up front) but not a good one. The sentences are very simplistic, and the laughter in the audiobook sounds fake.

After listening to a few fantastic memoirs, I just can‘t handle something this ear-scratchingly horrible.

Bailing after 2/11 chapters.

I'm a fan of TLC but not a big fan of this book. Tionne has survived the odds and has overcome some major hurdles in her life, but I still wasn't able to fully connect to this book.

I even tried listening to the audiobook but that ended up boring me to tears. Tionne's monotone voice made the story drag so much that I had to continue reading the book on my Kindle.

A real life friend of mine, @awhalen03 , just joined Litsy! Give her a warm welcome & a follow! She was my best friend circa 2nd grade. She knew ALL the words to TLC‘s “Waterfall.” God. So cool. 🙌🏻🔥🌶

I think our respective postures in this pic say everything you need to know about us.😅 #throwback

Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about the legendary girl group TLC, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins delivers this satisfying memoir that adds even more dimension to their already well known story. Page after page she produces personal, emotional and sometimes funny, behind the scene stories that are sure to keep your interest from the first page to the last.

Pretty hard to take in this book without serious ear worms.

Fun. Honest. Raw. Authentic. It's worth a read if you're a fan.

I was a huge fan of TLC back in the day, so I was eager to get some behind-the-scenes scoop. There were some interesting stories, but nothing too exciting. Also, Watkins' portrays herself as a role model. But there was one incident where she injures a woman so badly she is in the hospital for 2 months. It was hard for me to have any kind of respect for her after I read this. People will enjoy this as a celeb memoir, but I was disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

There are only a handful of us who call both Des Moines and Atlanta home. T-Boz and I are two of them, and I'm excited to read this one.
