drschroe 's review for:

5.0

Beautiful, honest and heartbreaking -- the story of Whitney Houston's divine talent, close friendship, and all the ways people outside of that friendship were intimidated and threatened by it. The story makes me wonder how any of the surviving members of Houston's (let alone Bobby Brown's) family can look themselves in the face when you consider what they enabled in her and how they sponged off of her.

The book is a quick, easy read (I actually listened to it, and Robyn narrates it. There are a few places where her voice catches, and it really hit me in my heart). Makes me want to YouTube old videos of Whitney.
