5.0

As far as audio books go, I really enjoyed this one. Riley Keough paid beautiful tribute to her mother, and her one of a kind life, and family, who has gone through so much and have seemingly come out the other side stronger. I don’t know how Riley got through recording some of these chapters because she had me crying in public on multiple occasions. I would definitely recommend.

I reached for this because my grandpa was a huge elvis presley fan, and this was the first book i ever seen him read; it did not disappoint.

i love how it was written, and how lisa marie’s words are separated from riley’s. it gave a unique perspective and it can show how both can be unreliable narrators at times. my heart broke reading this, but there was also beautiful passages and funny lines. i enjoyed reading it so much.

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Such a great book to listen to as an audio. I picked this up wanting to know more about Lisa Marie and being Elvis's daughter and this book is just so much more. This is a dual narration book, with Lisa's part being narrated by Julia Roberts and the other part being narrated by Lisa's daughter Riley Keough. This is a book filled with emotion, but a wonderful story of motherhood, loss, addiction, insecurities, grief,  passion, music and love.

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🎵

challenging dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

One of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to - Keough and Julia Roberts do an incredible job, and I was moved to tears at the end. I only knew the rough outline of Lisa Marie’s story and listened because I was thinking about getting it for my grandma, a huge Elvis fan, for Christmas. I was completely blown away and am so, so glad I listened.
