According to Newsweek, Jada Pinkett Smith’s highly anticipated memoir, “Worthy,” appears to be facing lackluster sales figures, failing to achieve the expected level of success despite garnering attention for its headline-making content and confessional interviews leading up to its release.
The book, released on October 17, has failed to make a significant impact on various bestseller lists, including Amazon Books, where it currently occupies the 81st spot. At the time of this writing, it has only received 114 ratings and 64 reviews. Similarly, the Kindle e-reader chart does not feature “Worthy” within its top 100 titles, with only approximately 2,700 copies sold by the end of the previous week.
Disappointingly, the memoir has not managed to break into the top 100 rankings on either Barnes & Noble or the Publishers Weekly lists, further contributing to its underwhelming performance in the literary market.
Compounding the lackluster sales figures, the book finds itself outshone by the successes of other celebrity-authored titles, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s self-help book, “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life,” and the highly anticipated “The Woman In Me” by Britney Spears. Even John Stamos’ memoir has managed to surpass the sales of “Worthy,” securing the 36th position on Barnes & Noble’s weekly bestseller list.
Customer reviews on Amazon Books have been mixed, with some expressing disappointment in the book’s content and writing style, while others have praised its relatability and insightful narrative, particularly for black women.
Amidst the lackluster sales, Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent revelations about her marriage to Will Smith, acknowledging that they have been “living separate lives” since 2016, have sparked public intrigue. Despite this, the memoir’s inability to capture the public’s attention and translate it into significant sales remains a point of concern in the book’s overall performance in the literary sphere.
