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!!

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.

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”
