**audiobook**
Whoever decided that Rosie Perez should narrate this book deserves a bonus and/or promotion. I can't think of a better person to "be" Ronnie to the reader's ears.

Ronnie's heyday was well before my time, but it was really interesting to see through her eyes into such a unprecedented time in popular music. She was right there as legends like The Beatles & The Rolling Stones were early in their careers. I mostly became aware of her in relation to her ex husband Phil Spector when they both made the news with their respective passings about a year apart. After listening to her life story, Phil's crazy fro hairpiece ended up being the least frightening and disturbing thing about him. The way Ronnie just kinda plowed right past all those red flags everywhere around him from the very beginning was torturous to read - even knowing she eventually broke free. Still, a really good story of the ups and downs of a life in the spotlight and Ronnie's resilience. Recommend.
