This memoir, without question, is heartbreaking.

Prior to reading, I suspected that this memoir would be sad as it's Lisa Marie Presley's memoir that is being published posthumously with the assistance of Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough. However, I don't think I could have predicted just how sad of a read it would be. I really have only known minor details surrounding Lisa Marie Presley's life and this memoir went into her life in-depth in her own words (and her daughter's).

Although this memoir gives Lisa Marie that autonomy in having her known and her own story told coming from her, I really can't help but feel that I was reading a tragedy. It really made you feel heartbroken for all that Lisa Marie had to face in her life. How could one person be expected to survive and be resilient through it all? I just don't know.

This must have also been incredibly hard for Riley to write as well but I think she did amazingly. She combined both her mom's words and stories with her own in a way that you could tell they were coming from two different voices. I truly hope Riley Keough continues on her own writing journey in the future.

I also do have to recommend the audiobook because...wow. It's read by Riley Keough and Julia Roberts (yes, THE Julia Roberts) while also including clips from the tapes Lisa Marie Presley recorded to write this memoir. The addition of these clips made this read vastly more personal and harrowing.
