Quite the undertaking of a book, the writing was hard for me to get into, but I liked learning about the lives of the divas mentioned! The author has a very unique insight.

This is such a great book. One I think i will have to reread. I would love a list of every song mentioned but i couldn’t find one, i did find a playlist made by the author: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ZB4NiEucrrz45WpFDGO2x?si=Ou78RDZbSK-JAyoZbiQXAw
This whole book is beautifully written, inspiring and important! I did find the timeline difficult to follow at times, but i don’t think that took away from the book.
