Book Synopsis

"An inspiring roadmap to navigating life's challenges with grace, grit, and a refusal to settle for anything less than your worth." -Chelsea Handler, comedian and #1 bestselling author

Beloved actress, designer, and entrepreneur Jennie Garth opens up in this fiercely honest book about pursuing happiness, aging with confidence, and learning to love and prioritize yourself.

Jennie Garth is best known for playing the iconic role of Kelly Taylor in the hit television series "Beverly Hills, 90210." Now in her 50s, she invites readers into the real story of growing up on screen, facing Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, and losing--and finding--herself through heartbreak, loss, and the challenge of motherhood. She shares the raw truths of the moments that broke her open and shows the resilience it takes to walk through grief and begin again.

Jennie writes with warmth and candor about learning to quiet the voice that says "not enough," rediscovering her strength after loss, and daring to take up space, speak her truth, and want more. She opens up about the unglamorous, deeply human moments and finally letting go of the need for perfection and other people's approval.

Through personal stories, practical advice, and the wisdom earned through her own hard lessons, Jennie lights a path back to self-love and clarity. I Choose Me is for anyone who's ever felt lost in their roles, struggling to give themselves permission to ask, "What do I want now?" It's an invitation to honor your own journey, embrace self-care, and believe with compassion that choosing yourself is the bravest, kindest thing you can do.
