23-6 Oct 24 (audiobook)
Narrated by both Riley Keough and Julia Roberts, this is the story of Lisa-Marie Presley in her own words. Some of it confused me as it was not strictly chronological. What did come through was the love and appreciation she had for her father. And the difficulties in her relationship with her mother, Priscilla. The loneliness and addiction were heartbreaking. Not 100% successful for me but a very interesting text.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely go audio here. Julia Roberts gives voice to the late Lisa Marie, who tragically passed during this memoir‘s writing. Keough narrates her own parts perfectly as well. At times, I wanted more detail, but this really was the right amount. Joyous and sad, much like most lives, though most of us didn‘t have a superstar father. Loved how this was organized. A must-read for memoir fans!

I‘m seriously so emotional and spent most of the last chapter sobbing 😭 If you read this, do yourself a favor and listen to the audio. Riley honored her mother in such a beautiful way ♥️

This is Lisa Marie Presley's story in her own words written by her daughter, Riley Keough. Lisa's story about smashing golf cars in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom with her father dead on the bathroom floor, about living in LA with her mom,

So many emotions💕😡😭💔I definitely will re-listen!! A💯% perfect narration by both Julia Roberts & Riley Keough. Such a wonderful gift, to fulfill her mothers wish. Telling Lisa Marie‘s story took enormous courage imo❤️‍🔥 Highly recommended🤓

👻: 1

It was a very emotional, tough read. She was very open about everything she had gone through. It's so sad that the addiction she had, even though she had quit using it, ultimately took her life. It's also sad that she never felt love after her dad died. I think she searched for love like her dad's the rest of her life.

😊Happy Reading 😊

Lisa Marie Presley‘s unfinished memoir, as constructed by her daughter (and I assume ghost writers) as told from Lisa Marie‘s perspective and complimented by Riley‘s experiences from that period of their lives. These two perspectives were narrated by Riley herself and Julia Roberts for Lisa Marie‘s sections in the audiobook, both very well done. Lisa Marie‘s life was bookended by the loss of two men: her father and her son. Heartbreaking.

Super excited about this one! I pre-ordered before it came out and finally have a chance to sit down and read!

This is one of the most powerful memoirs I have ever read. As a woman and mother, I acutely felt the truth and love of Lisa Marie's life. Hearing the story from both mother and daughter made it even more impactful. I chose to listen to this audiobook and highly recommend it for readers to experience. This is ultimately a story about family, pain and grief, addiction and healing, that readers will empathize with and draw strength from.

I thought about ‘haunt‘ after viewing the movie “Priscilla”, then listening to this book. Elvis was haunted, as in tormented; his compulsions and addictions defined his life and death. It seems that Lisa Marie followed a similar path through losing her daddy and her only son, and resorted to heavy drug use and self destruction. The book is unique: it includes passages from daughter Riley, Lisa on a recording, interspersed with narration by⬇️

Read this in one sitting. Loved how Riley used her mom‘s words from tapes then added her insight. Just a telling of how it was for Lisa Marie to grow up in Graceland. Those sad eyes after her dad passed.😔 So hard to grow up under the legend of Elvis. Priscilla as a mother?😏 The ending got me😢 Addiction is terrible.
