I always feel bad rating memoirs low, because how do you judge someone's life story?
But there was just too much in this one that worked on my nerves, to name a few things:
There's so much mundane details, begin repeated over and over again. Eating habits for one.
Another thing was the duel narration, while I appreciate why Cher decided on doing it this way, the changeover always caught my ear and it broke the flow in my opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On pins and needles for “part two” out later this year! This was a lot of detail, but so immersive, like I was on the periphery eaves dropping on her life. The audiobook introduces each chapter with a Cher-narrated anecdote, then passes the duties to Stephanie Block who seamlessly takes over. Early life through the 70s. She saw and experienced a ton in those years; was in the midst of so much pop culture history. Fascinating!

This memoir gave me a coveted backstage pass to hang out with the fashionably coolest, powerfully inspiring, fearlessly honest & hilariously outspoken global icon. No wonder I‘m still smiling! I grew up on Cher‘s music & TV show—and she‘s still impacting us all with her compassion, resistance, resilience & truth. The stories behind Cher‘s relationships with Sonny & Gregg Allman are mind-boggling. Her mesmerizing eyes made the perfect endpapers.
