Parvati Shallow's memoir, "Nice Girls Don't Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power," reveals her experiences on reality shows and her queerness, which she came out as in December 2023. Following her recent relationship with comedian Mae Martin, Shallow recounts how she began writing after her divorce from John Fincher, during which she gained time to reflect on her life. She emphasizes that writing was challenging yet liberating, aiming to humanize herself through sharing embarrassing stories to encourage self-acceptance among others.
Shallow shared that she had learned to be more accepting of herself and various things she's been through in her life. That acceptance, she said, extended to others and that she has also become more compassionate.
I didn't write the book to look good. There are so many embarrassing stories and stories that make me look bad in the book, and I wanted to share those to humanize myself, and for other people to have that permission to accept themselves too.
