Unfinished

 

I heard Priyanka was writing a book and immediately pre-ordered it.

I first met Priyanka through her breakthrough character, Alex Parrish on Quantico. I was then quickly caught up in her whirlwind romance with Nick Jonas, aka my fav JoBro. I spotted her again starring alongside her brothers/sister-in-laws, in the Jonas Brothers comeback music video, Sucker.

Needless to say, I've been enthralled.

But I hardly knew anything about her.

 

In her memoir, Unfinished, Priyanka leads us through her entire life. She grew up traveling around India, went to an all girls boarding school, moved to America for high school, and somehow ended up back in India....where she went on to win Miss India AND Miss World WHEN SHE WAS ONLY SEVENTEEN. She details every second of that incredible feat in this book. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and we were right there for the journey. We saw her thriving in her Indian film career, becoming an international sensation, landing the lead role in an American television series, losing her father, channeling that anger into an amazing role, meeting the love of her life, and becoming an ambassador for UNICEF.

Her entire story is filled with hard work and load of encouragement from those closest to her. She was acutely aware of how different her life was compared to other young girls in India. She knew she was loved and cherished while others were going without medical care, being forced out of school, and becoming child brides and homemakers. That alone drove Priyanka to make a difference in the lives of young women around the globe. Everyone deserves a chance to live out their dreams and she's determined to show these girls everything they can be.
