Loved that I got to hear about Sinead O'Connor's life from the woman herself. I felt the book dragged a little, and was repetitive at times, but overall I enjoyed the read.

While it's not a focus of the story at all, O'Connor describes herself as asexual.

This was just lovely. Sinéad read the audiobook herself which added to the experience, although it was extra poignant to listen to after her death. The writing style is relaxed and chatty and listening to her read it, it was like she was there in the room with me. Despite the traumas and struggles Sinéad experienced, this is a thoughtful, hopeful memoir with some laugh-out-loud moments.

Oh Sinead. Reading this on audiobook brought back so many feelings and memories, and I ended up switching back and forth between it and her music a lot. She was such a gift to this world, and I’m so glad to have heard her story in her own voice.
