 ▲Unfiltered is a collection of essays that reveal stories and tidbits from Collins’ past. Within its pages, you’ll learn that the glorious actress’ real life was not always filled with laughter and blessings. She once struggled with an abusive relationship and an eating disorder.

During an interview with Us Weekly, in response to the question of whether she had any hesitance when writing this book, Collins responded by saying “Being in an emotionally abusive relationship. I never regretted it, but I felt ashamed. I thought, How could I put myself in that position? I came to a deeper understanding as I was writing. It’s taking the shame out of those things that makes you stronger…  I came to a real acceptance of myself. Writing this was definitely the most difficult thing I’ve done to date, but at the end, it was the most gratifying.”

Lily Collins expected her fans to be angry at her abuser, so she cautioned, “Please don’t speculate, jump to conclusions, target or blame anyone you think may have been involved… It’s not healing or helpful. My intent in writing this book was not to point fingers.”

With the release of her first book, all of her past experiences was unveiled on her own terms. Lily Collins’ book Unfiltered is available for purchase today online and in bookstores. 台灣網路書店網購
