Jennifer Lopez has written a ‘cathartic’ book
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 20 May 2014
Jennifer Lopez’s limitless creativity has spilled over into the literary world, meaning she’ll release her first book in late October.
Titled ‘True Love’, the diary-style text will incorporate photos, and look back on a “most defining period” in J-Lo’s life, aka “the transformative two-year journey of how, as an artist and a mother, she confronted her greatest challenges, identified her biggest fears, and ultimately emerged a stronger person than she’s ever been”.
‘She’ bravely says: “Writing ‘True Love’ has been a deeply cathartic, personal, and vulnerable experience. If it were not for the love and courage given to me by my children, this story wouldn’t have been possible. While I struggled with the decision of whether or not to release this book, I recognised that if it could touch even just one person then it would honestly become one of the most fulfilling endeavours of my life”.
More fulfilling an endeavour than ‘I Luh Ya Papi’? Raymond Garcia, of Penguin Group division Celebra, thinks so, and adds: “Jennifer Lopez is a remarkable author who fully invested her heart and soul into every page of her book. She channeled her unparalleled work ethic, fearless honesty, perpetual creativity, and artistic vision to realise an absolutely beautiful story that will surely touch and inspire readers around the world”.
Meanwhile, linguistically in line with the book, J-to-the-Lo has released a new single titled ‘First Love’. Here it is on iTunes.
