She is a breath of fresh air. If you're interested in this one I highly recommend that you LISTEN to it instead of reading.
I fell in love with Sara’s songs with her album Little Voice. Over the years she’s made me laugh and cry with more recordings, and this book is no exception. Please opt to read this in audio if you can. Learning more about this wonderful human is gift enough, but having her read the story felt more like catching up with an old friend. I binged this in a single session and I loved every second.
I loved this book. I love Sara. Her music, her stories, all of them are beautiful. Definitely a fun read.
This one should really be listened to, not read. Sara's sure voice and great humor and soulful depth was not a surprise to me, but I was moved and encouraged beyond my expectations. And the out takes are perfect.
This book was warm, comforting, funny, personal, and incredibly, wonderfully real. Reading how some of her most beautiful songs unfolded in the context of and in reaction to her life became a much more profound experience than I was expecting. She talks about her fears and insecurities, and her journey through confronting those obstacles are so similar to her readers' journeys that it sometimes becomes very easy to forget that she's not talking directly to you. I genuinely look forward to sharing this book and reading it again!
Oh. My. Gosh. Yes.
"Sounds Like Me" is beautiful, inspiring, honest, and intriguing. Sara Bareilles's voice is compassionate, kind, and truthful. Everything that I love about her music is present in this text.
I highly recommend the audiobook where Sara sings, a capella, the songs she's tied each essay to.
As I finished this book, I fell further in love with Sara Bareilles.

I enjoy Sara Bareilles’ songs. I just do. They make me want to sing along, which is why I picked this audio up from the library.
Sara reads this collection of 8 essays and sing pieces of a few of her songs along the way. It’s like talking to an old friend. She’s honest and lets us see parts of her life. She shares her insecurities, her struggles with body image, her struggles as a beginning songwriter. I think listening to the audio was the way to go though, rather than reading it in print. You can tell that she really cares about people and is thrilled when her songs connect to people, inspires people, let people know that they’re not alone. She’s very affirming of others, especially young women. I love how she doesn’t take herself too seriously though. She keeps the tone light throughout and I enjoyed the different tones she uses when she laughs at herself.
It’s a fun memoir. It’s not long and in all reality her life has not been that eventful, but I could relate to parts of her story. She is a talented woman. I wish I could go see Waitress on Broadway when it opens later this year. She wrote the music and lyrics for the show and discusses it in the last essay.
I think if you like her music, you’ll like the book – although I do definitely recommend the audio over print. If you’re not a fan or have no idea who she is, maybe pass this one up.
