medium-paced

I cannot speak to the truth of the contents of this book (who can except those involved in the events?), but I did enjoy reading. I found the readability to be easy even when the contents discussed were not. While I can see it was tad bit long in places, if you have interest in Prince Harry and British royals, I think it's worth a read or listen.

I read this after finishing all seasons of The Crown in the past month, so I was craving hearing more about the royal family. I absolutely loved hearing Harry’s POV! The description was strong, the emotions were raw and I felt his pain and anxiety as if it was my own. I usually read non-fiction books quite slowly, only tackling small chunks at a time, but I couldn’t put this book down. I only gave it a 4 because at some points, his storytelling was all over the place. I kind of got used to the style though, and by the end he was more focused.

Strangely written and slightly immature, but also interesting to see into such a different life

4.5

A very interesting account of Prince Harry's life, experiences, and thoughts. I think I enjoyed listening to the audiobook more than I'd have enjoyed just reading it, as his narration provides a depth of emotion that I wouldn't get directly from the page (and he does a stellar job). The way he talks about his relationship with Megan is very beautiful and sweet.
