What is so great about Troublemaker is that Remini lets the reader in on her thought process, even the embarrassing moments. What is clear from early on is that she has a strong moral compass and compassion for others that no one, no one can shake. Her openness is refreshing and she is not ashamed to share the stories that many people may prefer to keep to themselves. She starts out by sharing her and her family’s transgressions in an effort to preempt any attempts by the church to discredit her, and jumps right into her family life as a child. Troublemaker is a sweeping history of Remini’s life, particularly her time with Scientology, from beginning to end. I can’t say I’ve ever considered an audiobook intimate before, but I can now. What’s more, I felt as if she was telling her story to me, not the world. By the end of the book, I was awestruck by how strong she is as a person. So when she released a memoir about exactly that, I was intrigued. I didn’t know she was a Scientologist and, as someone who doesn’t follow a lot of entertainment news, only had vague recollection of the frenzy surrounding her leaving the church. I’ve watched King of Queens in syndication and liked what I knew about her.
