I love Andy and would happily listen to him talk for days on end, so naturally listening to him narrate his own book was the best way to read this. He's such an insightful, intelligent and well-spoken person. A lot of what is spoken about I knew simply through interviews and The Andy Show but a lot of it was definitely new to me. I listened to this all in one day while doing other things and enjoyed it so much.

Andy Biersack’s story is defiant and inspiring. A reflective and considered look back at the pertinent years in his life. Full of nostalgia for those who remember parts of the ride but not a fascinating read even if you’re not a fan.  The author said before its release that this book was not a salacious tell all. It isn’t. He does not include party anecdotes but instead focuses on providing an honest look at the contradictions of the pressures he put on himself to fit in to the role he dreamed up for himself, despite having devoted his life to insistently being his own person.
I found it challenging but only because he sets the challenge to push the envelope and encourages self-reflection which is not always a comfortable task. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time to come.
