What a beautiful story. I didn't know very much about Lisa Marie Presley before, I knew her son had died, and she had passed a couple of years later. I was completely in awe of her story and loved the way it was told, with Riley adding pieces and with the live voice notes. It was a beautifully produced piece that still left things private for the family by not releasing all of her audio. 

Julia Roberts did a great job with the reading. It was wonderful. 

I was particularly moved by the final two chapters, and found myself smiling and crying to myself reflecting on my own grief journey, as my dad passed around the same time as Ben. 

Beautiful book. Definitely read it as audio!

Unofficial sequel to Pricilla’s Elvis and Me (though I preferred this). Parts written by Riley were heartbreaking. An incredible read, wish LM were still alive and the book was longer 4🎵
