niklit's review against another edition

challenging emotional funny inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This is unlike any other memoir I've ever listened to. There are so many ad libs and so much sincerity. She goes on tangents and cracks herself up and chokes herself up being vulnerable. It's not just her triumphs, but her mistakes, and even some really kind of dark confessions behind which  you can tell there's a lot of shame and remorse. I loved this, and it's likely a totally different experience from reading in print.
