 Dang, Sinead O'Connor was a true artist. I don't think I've ever read anything about/by anyone who feels things quite as deeply as she seemed to. She was trusting, open, and self-aware. I was shocked to hear that she maintained her beliefs and spirituality all her life — I didn't expect that after learning about all she endured as a child and young adult.

I definitely recommend this. I especially liked the parts where she discusses her music and the music she loves. I didn't know she was such a Rasta!

This book is hard to rate because it reads like a fever dream. Some of it is beautiful. Some of it is a mess. The story is roughly chronological, but it bounces around a lot. But all of this reflects who O'Connor is, so instead of being frustrating, it feels like an accurate portrayal of who is she is. Which is a beautiful mess.
