First of all the book is being marketed as a tell-all memoir in which Sinead details her story through the years, unfortunately it doesn't read that way. To me it felt about 20% memoir and 80% discography. There are parts where she talks about her childhood abuse and a quick chapter about her children at the end however the rest feels like tid bits of sentences thrown into paragraph upon paragraph about her songs.
While it was an interesting read overall I can't help feeling the book has more to do with her upcoming album which is due to be released rather than her telling her own true story.
TW for child abuse, addiction, mental illness and suicide.
