I love a good celebrity memoir or essay collection. I don't read them that often, but if it is someone I like, I like to read it. I have a long list and it may take me awhile to get through them maybe some day I will!

I love Sara Bareilles. I have been a fan for a long time. Her music is the perfect background chill music whether in a good mood or bad mood - in the bathtub or the car! This essay collection is from 2015, so missing all the recent success of Waitress, but does include the genesis of it. I loved how she formatted the book with each chapter focused on a song of hers and how each chapter/essay was self contained.

I found myself while reading the book going to YouTube to listen to the song before I started each chapter to get a feel of what the chapter may be like. I loved how she started in her childhood and it wasn't completely chronological but very close and so interesting. Now I am not one of those fans who thinks they know everything about her, but I thought through her music I knew a lot, but that was scratching the surface. I loved that she really opened up in this book and showed the positive and the negatives that she has faced while creating a music career.

I sure hope years from now she follows this up with a sequel that brings up from the Waitress days and beyond. I read the ebook of this one because that is what was easily available, but I always recommend listening to audio books of celebrity memoirs, especially if they read them themselves!
