NEED TO KNOW
Jodie Sweetin is lending her voice to a personal project.
PEOPLE can exclusively announce that the Full House star, 43, will narrate a new audiobook edition of her memoir unSweetined. The project will be released this summer through Simon & Schuster Audio.
Originally published in 2009, unSweetined recounts the author’s life after child stardom. Best known for stealing hearts as middle sister Stephanie Tanner, life took a different turn for Sweetin after Full House ended in 1995. In the book, Sweetin describes her experience with addiction and her journey toward recovery.

“I loved recording the audiobook — it was such a personal experience to revisit these stories in my own voice all these years later,” Sweetin tells PEOPLE.
“I’m proud knowing that this audiobook is my voice, my emotions and my truth all wrapped together. I was really vulnerable in the process of recording and I hope listeners feel that connection with every word.”

“It’s a huge honor to get to be part of something that so many people find comfort in, and there’s not many opportunities or careers where that gets to happen,” Sweetin said. “And so I am incredibly grateful for that. I still love what I do. I still love entertaining, I love comedy. And it’s because people fell in love with Full House and Stephanie and have continued to, so I’m just beyond grateful for it.”
The audiobook edition of unSweetined will be available on Aug. 19.
