This was just OK, and probably most of that is because I've never been a big fan although I admire her for what's she has accomplished. So why did I read this? Mainly because I've been interested in Cyndi's life plus I love her co-author, Jancee Dunn. Unfortunately, while some readers may like Cyndi's storytelling narration style, I found it distracting and at times her grammar was just plain annoying (and that's coming from someone who isn't exactly a grammar queen so it must be bad).

Excellent writing. Cyndi's life resonates with my own life historically! She brings the reader back through time. It was a joy and pleasure to read about all her life's achievements as well as her struggles with being a woman and living in a man's world. Her dedication to the gay community is both terrifically genuine and so innocently derived! She is a mensch among men and women!

the first half of this book is now my bible on celebrity, music and feminism, it’s amazing, everything that makes me believe Cyndi is a great role model and inspiration to women is in this book. the second half i skimmed as i already had what i needed. so i kind of feel like i can’t give it four stars if i only loved half of the book? it’s a must read for anyone who loved that crazy girl as a kid.

Musicians don't make great authors, even if their narratives make for great plot lines. It is what it is. Spoiler alert: she becomes a hockey mom. How disappointing. But man was her early feminism cool.
