Excellent memoir. Ronnie Spector has a distinct voice both in singing and writing. The audiobook is read by Rosie Perez and I highly recommend it.
This details her career, including her abusive marriage to Phil Spector (he can burn in hell). Her ability to look at her choices and her situation so frankly and openly and honestly is commendable. Even when she is in the depths of despair - understandably! - she maintains a sense of humor and hope. She’s not full of platitudes either. She doesn’t shy away from how hard it was. I’ll be thinking about this book and her example for a long time. Visceral and compelling.
