I might be biased because I am a fan, but I loved this! Sara Bareilles has such a unique writing voice that makes you feel like you're catching up with an old friend. It's also interesting to see how someone so wildly successful can also go through emotions of fear, insecurity, and feeling out of place. Really great read!
I actually really loved this type of memoir/biography/whatever this book classifies as. I have started reading a lot of these types of books, but Sara has managed to write hers in a way that is completely different and unique, just like she is in the musical world as well. I loved how each chapter was dedicated to one of her songs, and not only was the explanation of the song in each chapter but also a whole other backstory/part of her life that I never knew about before. I can only hope she writes another book (even though it seems like she hated the process, haha) to hear about some of my other favorite songs of hers. I also loved her sense of humor, which having never seen her live unfortunately, I did not know was a part of her personality. The stories and humor, combined with lovely photos really made me appreciate Sara for the artist she is and for the fact that she was brave enough to open up about so many things in this book.
I think we tend to elevate any kind of artist to another level, and this book really normalized Sara for me. Just like any other person, she has had her ups and downs, struggles and successes, etc. I'm thankful for this book, because she reminded me of that. People are people. We just need to connect with each other, tell stories, and learn and support each other.

this book is such a comfort to me & I simply don’t think I’ll ever read or listen to it without crying

If you've listened to her music, you probably already know but this book confirms it: Sara is a wonderful storyteller. I highly recommend listening to this on audio so that you can delight in Sara's singing and her humor, but I loved this book so much that I purchased a printed version to revisit down the road (the printed version has some photos to accompany the stories!).
