Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer by Chely Wright

4.0

What I enjoyed about this book is the honesty it portrays. I have mixed feelings about how Chely chose to live her life, but she is honest about her feelings, her self-betrayal, and her cowardice(as justified as it may be).
She stands in a unique position within the celebrity of the United States, and she has the power to affect change within her fan-base, and extend that momentum towards greater equality for gays and lesbians. She has, as she stated in her memoir, decided to stand up for herself and her heart, rather than maintain her integrity in a homophobic musical field. Perhaps she will also end up standing up for so many more than just herself.
