What to expect

Read by the author, JoJo.

‘I just needed something to take me out of my mind. And the pattern of telling myself I was going to stop but not being able to eroded any sliver of self-trust I still had . . . I felt ashamed. I couldn’t get over this idea that I was letting everyone down.’

In her breathtakingly candid memoir, JoJo reveals for the first time the personal adversity and public expectations she has overcome, from being recognised worldwide as a teenager to processing mental health, addiction and trauma.

Holding nothing back, JoJo shares her against-the-odds story of adversity and resilience, from being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression to the seven-year law suit she found herself locked in with her label, to eventually finding the strength to put the fragmented pieces of herself back together after a period of rebellion and self-betrayal. Over the Influence invites readers on a journey of self-redemption to discover what it truly means to find yourself.
