Unfinished: A Memoir

Unfinished by Priyanka Chopra Jonas is an excellent memoir about a hard working woman with many talents.

Unfinished gives the reader a brief story of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s life and how she became the successful independent woman she is today. I’ve been a fan of Priyanka since watching the premiere of Quantico. I didn’t know much about her life before acting in the US besides that she was an actress in India. I learned so much about her and Indian culture by reading Unfinished. It is common in India for people to live with other family members growing up. Priyanka lived with multiple aunt and uncles even living in the US for a few years in high school. Priyanka discusses being bullied in the US which eventually was the reason she moved back to India.

Priyanka is the first person in her family to go into the movie industry. Both of her parents are doctors and she was planning on being an aeronautical engineer before entering a beauty pageant. She explains her career through pageants, acting, singing and then acting in the US. I enjoyed hearing about Priyanka’s experience with Quantico since that is how I discovered her. She discusses the loss of her father. Chopra discusses a conversation when she told her friends what she was looking for in a partner and how that related to meeting Nick. I enjoyed hearing about her and Nick since I am a longtime fan. She discusses meeting Nick, their relationship leading up to their wedding and adjusting to being a married couple. Family is discussed throughout Unfinished showing its importance to Priyanka. Priyanka is very independent and hardworking focusing on multiple careers. Priyanka shared a lot and was very honest but wasn’t afraid to say she was keeping some things to herself especially with her relationship. Unfinished shows the most important things to Priyanka are family, friends, and her careers. I felt like I learned a lot about Priyanka by reading Unfinished and can’t wait to follow her through future success.

I listened to the audio book narrated by Priyanka and read the book. I enjoyed both formats. I love Priyanka’s voice and it was special hearing her story in her voice. The book has pictures that are interesting to see. I enjoyed both formats so don’t have a strong preference.

Thank you Random House, Ballantine Books and Penguin Random House Audio for Unfinished.
