This book is well-written and poignant, providing Prince Harry the opportunity to finally tell his true story.
Harry has a talent for transporting the reader to that moment in time. Whether following behind Diana's coffin or sitting under the star-filled Botswana sky Harry fills the moments with brilliant detail.
It's impossible not to understand why he made the decision to protect his family when you really see the trauma that he continually faced at the hands of the media. While you may criticize him for now being part of that media, I respect the vulnerability with which he was able to tell his truth.
He is candid about his experiences and the emotional toll that they have taken on him. At the same time, he writes with a great deal of empathy and compassion for the people in his life, including his family members. It is clear that he desperately loves his father and brother and that he wants more than anything to be part of their true family.
Overall, I really enjoyed Spare. If you have already binge-watched Harry and Meghan or you just love a good memoir I would pick this up -- preferably on audiobook.
