Loved that I got to hear about Sinead O'Connor's life from the woman herself. I felt the book dragged a little, and was repetitive at times, but overall I enjoyed the read.

This was just lovely. Sinéad read the audiobook herself which added to the experience, although it was extra poignant to listen to after her death. The writing style is relaxed and chatty and listening to her read it, it was like she was there in the room with me. Despite the traumas and struggles Sinéad experienced, this is a thoughtful, hopeful memoir with some laugh-out-loud moments.

Oh Sinead. Reading this on audiobook brought back so many feelings and memories, and I ended up switching back and forth between it and her music a lot. She was such a gift to this world, and I’m so glad to have heard her story in her own voice.

Sinéad is evidently one of those rare people who rose to fame not because they wanted to, but because it was in their fate to have a platform to be able to help others.  She has a commitment to honesty and integrity that I wish the rest of the world had.  It is truly heartbreaking to read the end of the book knowing that she passed.  Rest in peace 🕊️

This was my first audio book. I’ve been meaning to read this for a while but having Sinead read her book to me was wonderful. 

A warrior. I miss her.
