I don’t read many autobiographies/memoirs so I may be a bit generous with the stars here.
Basically, this is very good during the first half or two thirds of the book before LW gets famous. She has a great voice. After fame it goes down hill dramatically. To me the basic problem is that she gets careful with what she says about people. I particularly disliked the very last chapter of the book where she gives us clichéd messages.

For what this book may lack in poetics, it makes up for with grit and earnestness.

Consumed via the audio version. Lucinda's narration was a bit flat, and I sped it up to 1.25x (I rarely speed up - also has to do this with Michelle Obama's autobio.)
I loved the stories and having her tell them, and it gave me insight to some of the stylistic choices she's made with her music over the years.
