Going There by Katie Couric

5.0

I am a little emotional and sentimental about this review, to be honest. Katie Couric feels like a huge part of my life, in a way that I imagine many others can claim as well. We were definitely a Today Show household (in the early days when people were actually up in the mornings to have news on); I wrote essay upon essay for college about how I wanted to be, "the next Katie Couric, before she left the Today Show." I am an active consumer of Katie Couric Media content (I love Wake Up Call so much) and generally just love her vibe. Her memoir was PHENOMENAL - listening to it was a purely enjoyable experience, as she included actual audio files from her experiences. And true to the title, she really did Go There - she is very raw and vulnerable, in an admirable way that doesn't necessarily paint her in the best light but IS honest (she unflinchingly discusses the Matt Lauer of it all, and it is so, so fascinating). She shares so much of herself and her story in such a beautiful way, cementing her position as a favored storyteller. I cried and laughed out loud, and genuinely enjoyed every second. A great experience.
