 The Details:
 Narrated by author
Unabridged

This was such an insightful read, especially after recently reading the fiction story of Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson.

I've always like Lily Allen's music, so I enjoyed hearing about her life - a lot events I never knew had happened - and the honesty of it all was so vulnerable.

The audiobook was great. Lily's speaking voice is so easy to listen to.

I enjoyed Lily Allen's autobiography and raced through it in a matter of days. I would have liked to see more material on her career in the music industry, especially in more recent years - there was some, but it was balanced out with lots of content about her upbringing and personal life. That's just me though! This book touches on a lot of heavy topics so definitely check the content warnings if you'd like to know.

Absolutely incredible, it was funny and honest and open and raw, heartbreaking and sad and shocking all at once. I loved it, and I feel privileged to have listened to it.
