This was JUICYYYYYY, I’m not even a huge fan of royal culture, but the media circus around Harry and Meghan had me curious. I tried to be mindful of certain parts of the book like the military deployment and anything related to that, but overall it was highly enjoyable and got some good gasps out of me.

this book was a bit of a car-crash - it was like a horrible road accident I couldn't look away from.

I wasn’t prepared for the sheer amount of animal death in this book. I love animals and it broke my heart to read about the killing of goats, chickens, deer, rabbits, and others.

The rest of the book  was beautifully written and heartbreaking. Anyone ever wishing to have been born Royal or to be famous, I’d recommend reading Harry’s words. I’m glad he and Meghan found each other - their love is inspiring. I wish them a long, healthy and happy life together. And hopefully from here on out he’ll let the animals be.

The people who are rating this book so poorly saying that its nothing but bashing Harry's family either obviously haven't read it or are seriously lacking in reading comprehension. Yes this book talks about his family, yes there are negatives involved. But this book is about his trauma his personal journey. And if hes bashing ANYONE its the British press and they damn well deserve it. If this man truly wanted to "bash" his family I have no doubt in my mind that he would be able to bring the monarchy down around its ears easily because every family  has skeletons in their closet so I can only imagine the ones lurking in the deep dark depths of the closet of the British Monarchy. This book shows a man dealing with trauma, fear and anxiety and learning to face them and its very obvious that while he may have issues with his family (after all who doesn't) that he still loves them. People who are mad at this man and his wife need to take a close look at themselves and ask why. The people who deserve anger are the Press the True villains of Spare.
