Too safe
The book showcased how hardworking she is and I felt it could've added more vulnerability and more transparency. I read this after reading Neena Gupta's book Sach Kahoon Toh and felt I was let down by this book. She definitely is very intelligence, smart and worldly, I wish I could know more about her in a raw form .

worth the purchase
a good one! haven't finished reading yet, but it's fun reading the book as you get a glimpse of her life. she's always been an inspiration but i wish she described her struggles a little bit more as that would've been helpful and motivated a lot of us. me being a girl from india who has been watching her from years, i can tell you she hasn't mentioned a lot of moments that were very hard for her including some super controversial topics that should've been cleared up. good to know she hasn't made the whole book a sad story book, but i would've loved to read about a lot of things she didn't talk about. the size of the book is amazing. getting such a beautiful official book coming from a celebrity for 511 isn't bad at all. it's great her team have kept the price low out here since the main motive is for people to know her story and not to profit off too much. it's rare to see celebrities keeping the rates of their bios and merch this low. that too with free shipping. also, they keep decreasing the price every few days as they keep making sales, so if you still don't have enough money, then keep saving, you'll be able to buy it in a few days for sure. this is a must read especially for all the desis who're demotivated in today's world. ❤️

A great read
Loved the book, it had a personal writing style, you would often feel while reading as if PC herself is speaking to you and narrating her larger than life story of growing from an army kid , through her rough teens into a pageant queen and then ultimately a global icon. I would say it is an easy read, not too emotional or persuasive. Its less of story and more of narrative of a chronology of her life events which have led her to the pedestal that she is on currently.

Inspiring story with lack of depth in it
80% of the story public already knew from the news, magazines and interviews, and the other 20% was not so surprising. I love reading books and i was waiting for this one since i heard about it ,because i admire her with all my heart. She is an inspiration for each and every female on this planet. I felt like i was reading an interview in a magazine. It lacks the dept, and i cant complain, because come on she is not a professional writer, still she put an effort. Kudos Priyanka Chopra Jones. Thank you for being who you are. Keep rocking gal.

Great book. Easy to read. So interesting. Couldn't stop reading. I am a big fan of Priyanka Chopra and it's great she's sharing these parts of her life to see where she is coming from.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas's "Unfinished" is an Instant Classic! You could read this book because it is about a woman who made things go incredibly well in her life or because it is about a beautiful lady who achieved so much from hard work and persistence or because it is about a beautiful soul who believes that with grit and determination anyone can achieve their dream and help others no matter how "different" they might (at first) appear. Her opening dedication to her father will leave you teary. And he's present all throughout this memoir and seems an extraordinary incredible Dad and her Mom is majorly fearless also. The importance of Family and Women outlined in this book is incredible and mind blowing. To me, this seems one of the best inspirational books ever written. She includes some amazing very practical quotes including one really awesome one from martial arts master, Bruce Lee. South Asian cultural excellence is celebrated. But important aspects of American culture are presented throughout the book as well. And she includes awesome precise English definitions of Hindi words (so much better than most subtitles in Hindi cinema films). And she patiently explains all the stuff about India you may feel you're supposed to know but might not or just some India things you may have wondered about. The best lesson I gained out of reading "Unfinished" is the following: You can do almost anything you want if you aren't afraid of the consequences and you can fix almost anything if you can look at it from the right viewpoint or perspective. Seriously, I've never read so much wise practical advice liberally dispensed within such very wise simple stories related about what happened at different points in her life. There are a lot of great contrasts she explains between American and Indian culture, particularly in the area of family. And these are quite entertaining yet at the same time, respectful and affirmative. A number of times I was struck by what she was saying or what happened and put the book down and started thinking about the importance of it all, particularly right now. If we live in polarizing times, this book is so unpolarizing, so calming like a natural pain reliever for the enormous headache everyday life has become as seen online, in the newspaper, on TV or in sensational negative character films. She doesn't ignore the bad stuff and confronts it unflinchingly (which is a lesson in itself contained in several actions she took and is taking). She is the ultra successful person we may never meet but through her memoir, she tells us so much that we might hope she might say or advise if we found ourselves in challenging situations similar or different from the ones she has confronted. There is so much that is very good and inspirational in this book about India, America, about people, about life and about living. It is pure joy to read.
