It read like a gossip column. Good book to numb the brain though.

The narration was great.
What a unique, sad life.

Lisa Marie's memoir as completed by her daughter after Lisa Marie's passing. This memoir has received a good deal a praise and I had hopes for something relevatory. Behind the fame they'd share something true and universal about family. But that's not really what this is. It's a series of tragedies, a litany of defeat. A soft pick because it is organized well and the blended authorship works well but this just made me so sad.

This story was fascinating,brilliant, and so very sad.

What an incredible book that I bought and read. The last two chapters I cried.

Lisa Marie‘s life as told by herself and her daughter. Interesting accounts of Elvis‘s life and death, and the joy and pain having a godlike father can bring.

I was surprised by how easy this was to listen to. Even though Lisa Marie Presley‘s story is upsetting in many ways, the writing was informal and conversational. The chapters by Her daughter, Riley Keough, added a lot to the story and flow. Great on #audio , the narration by Julia Roberts and Ms Keough was lovely!

I had only general knowledge of Lisa Marie ahead of this - her famous father and her multiple marriages (most notably to Michael Jackson). This memoir covers these topics and much more, painting a fuller understanding of her life, her struggles, and the essence of who she was.
I would describe Lisa Marie as a beloved mother who loved fiercely despite, or maybe because of, the devastating loss that irrevocably changed the path of her life.
