FASCINATING

I’ve loved to share for her aesthetics. She is absolutely gorgeous. I have a picture of her from the 60s in my restroom, which is all glammed out.
I was born in the 80s, so I didn’t grow up watching the Sunny and Cher show. But she embodies everything I love about that time.
I love her social media presence and I love that she is a bad ass. This was one of my very favorite books to listen to. It was so informative. So heartfelt. I love her for so much more than just the aesthetics now. Every time the book got closer to ending I was more and more distraught internally lol when there was only five hours left, I googled when her next book would be released. Next year is way too long to wait!!

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

A fun listen

I think Trevor Noah was a great television host. I may have enjoyed this a lot more if I was a bigger fan and more invested in him. There has to be more to come from him because this covers only his childhood had much higher expectations based on all of the reviews I read.

Story
Mark and Giulia's life together began as a storybook romance. They fell in love at 18, married at 24, and were living their dream life in San Francisco. When Giulia was 27, she suffered a terrifying and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. One day she was vibrant and well adjusted; the next she was delusional and suicidal, convinced that her loved ones were not safe.

Perspective is great
Reviewed: 10-28-24
The way he tells the story is great.
As someone that deals with my own mental health issues- this offered a great but very obvious perspective. I think I waited for something different at the end.
He literally is just telling the STORY of his perspective as the husband to someone with what sometimes turns into a debilitating mental health diagnosis, and being a father to their son.
History is probably exactly like millions of other stories. In fact, I know that it is.
There isn’t anything remarkable to the story. There were times where I was scared to listen because it really embarks on how unrelenting and unpredictable mental health episodes can be.
It’s just 1 foot in front of the other. Towards the middle of the bucket left me longing for the perspective of the sick wife.
She must have felt like a burden. How it must’ve felt from the mother’s perspective.
I commend him for staying with his wife IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH as he did.
Most of us do not have that “ending”
