funny hopeful inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.0

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.

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.25

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 🕊️
