About this audiobook
International bestseller!
In her groundbreaking debut essay collection, actress Lily Collins—Golden Globe-nominated star of Rules Don’t Apply, Mortal Instruments, and To the Bone—is opening a poignant, honest conversation about the things young women struggle with: body image, self-confidence, relationships, family, dating, and so much more.
Lily shares her life and her own deepest secrets, underlining that every single one of us experiences pain and heartbreak. We all understand what it’s like to live in the light and in the dark. For Lily, it’s about making it through to the other side, where you love what you see in the mirror and where you embrace yourself just as you are. She's learned that all it takes is one person standing up and saying something for everyone else to realize they’re not alone.
By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Lily’s honest voice will inspire you to be who you are and say what you feel. It’s time to claim your voice! It’s time to live your life unfiltered.

Entertainment has been a big part of Lily Collins’s life since her childhood. In 2009, Lily made her film debut in the Academy Award–nominated film The Blind Side, and in 2016, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in Warren Beatty’s Rules Don’t Apply. Her other projects include Mirror Mirror; The English Teacher; Stuck in Love; The Mortal Instruments; Love, Rosie; To the Bone; Okja; and Halo of Stars. Lily also has a passion for journalism, which she discovered at the age of fifteen while working for ELLE Girl UK. Later, she reported on the 2008 presidential election for Nickelodeon, covered the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in a Seventeen magazine blog, and was a contributing editor for CosmoGirl and the Los Angeles Times Magazine. Lily has always strived to empower young people to use their voices, starting in high school, where she trained to be a teen therapist. Within the last few years, she has taken part in national events focused on encouraging today’s youth to stand together and speak out. Unfiltered is Lily’s debut book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5La verdad me sorprendió porque hay un montón de cosas que no sabía de la vida de la autora. Es muy valiente ser tan abierta y honesta sobre tantas vivencias dolorosas. Me identifico mucho, porque también atravesé varios de esos problemas, por los que la entiendo y entiendo lo que vivió. Hay cosas qué tal vez suenen muy básicas, pero cuando estas pasando por un mal momento, ver que otras personas se han recuperado de lo mismo ayuda. Siempre es bienvenido un mensaje positivo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is my self care. It’s one of my favorites! I just NEED to know the recipe for those quinoa cookies! I’ve been dreaming about them since the first time I read this book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lily is such a sweet, genuine and honest person. She made me feel absolutely comforted and seen. This is a very special book, I’m really glad she spoke up about everything that she did. Is INCREDIBLE to recognize how we all experience all the same kind of shit in different contexts. She really is an amazing girl.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5कलाकारांचे पडद्यावरील असामान्य आयुष्य पडद्यामागे आपल्याहून फारसे काही निराळे नसते. आपल्या लक्षात येत नसले, तरी त्यांची सुख-दुःखे, असुरक्षितता, भाव-भावना हे सारेकाही आपल्यासारखेच असते. लिली कॉलिन्स यांनी कोणताही आडपडदा न ठेवता 'अनफिल्टर्ड' या आत्मचरित्रात वाचकांसमोर आपल्या अंतरंगास मोकळी वाट करून दिली आहे. त्यांचे श्राव्यपुस्तक त्यांच्या स्वतःच्या आवाजात ध्वनीमुद्रित करण्यात आले असून सिनेकलाकार असल्याने त्यांनी ते अगदी उत्तमप्रकारे, मनापासून वाचले आहे. आपण जे जसे आहोत तसे स्वतःला स्वीकारून, नवे काही आत्मसात करून आयुष्यात पुढे जायला हवे हे आपल्याला या पुस्तकातुन अनुभवायला मिळते. तरुण वयात जे स्वतःचा अर्थ लावत आहेत त्यांनी हे पुस्तक वाचण्यास हरकत नाही.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Listened to this at a time when I really needed it. I loved it. Can't really say much more than that. It was amazing and loved that Lily read it herself. ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can't help but compare this book to Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking.
Collins wrote a more down-to-earth version of being popular.
I love that she avoided making celebrity gossips by not mentioning names.
(may write more later) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it (listened to the audiobook ~roughly 4 hours long). Listening to her talk optimistically about her experience with domestic abuse, eating disorders, and proximity to addiction was incredibly interesting to hear. She and I are pretty much the same age and while most of it wasn't relatable for me personally, I didn't feel like it needed to be. I really enjoyed hearing her talk about her life so far.
