3.5-4; Felt well edited and able to follow chronologically. Appreciated the honesty in his journey to accept the death of his mom and the intertwined theme of her life with the press and monarchy, and the similarities that began forming in his own. Could’ve done without a few sections, specifically the war where it feels like some of the anecdotes could potentially put others in danger, and certainly feels like an unfinished book… just due to the fact of the family turmoil being an ongoing conflict. Glad Harry prioritized himself and his mental health, and hopefully feels freer after releasing this book.

I really tried. I am team H and M all the way. I respect their journey. But old Hazz here kept reminding me of someone…. perhaps Holden Caulfield? By the time I got to pt 3 and she made an Eat, Pray, Love reference and he waxed philosophical about how well read she was, I was out. Wish these kids nothing but luck, though!

Having grown up in the spotlight, people from around the world feel like they know Prince Harry. But the image of what it means to be a member of the Royal Family is very different from the reality. "Spare" is an unflinching look at his own life, from tragedies to triumph, from loss to true love. I was incredibly struck by how relatable this memoir was for me. Harry's struggle with his familial relationships, finding his place in the family as well as in the world at large, and ultimately finding out who he is as a grandson, son, brother, husband and father. This book chronicles his time as a young man who is forever changed by the tragic loss of his mother, to his ups and downs as an adolescent, to his pivotal time in the armed forces, serving his country and finding his passion for service. This memoir has moments that are funny, tender, heartbreaking and deeply personal, and as you travel alongside Harry during his life, you will come away with a much better understanding of who he is a man, warts and all.
Definitely a page turner (but for full disclosure I did listen to the audiobook which I highly recommend). So much has been said about this book, but I highly enjoyed it. It's an easy read, which gives you insight into the world of a modern day royal.
Loved the first two parts following Harry’s childhood, Army service and the beginning stages of his relationship with Meg. When it came to finger the pointing and laundry airing, he lost me.
