This was a continuation of my audiobook memoir journey and it was fun. I knew a bit about Elton John going in, but now a whole lot, so there was a lot to learn. I appreciated how honest and human John felt when telling his story. He didn't shy away from sharing things that made him sound pretty awful, and was able to reflect on some of the less great things he's done. I'm glad the book is fairly new and wrapped up after his marriage and children. He definitely has had an interesting life, and this was a fun read.

If I ever write a memoir I want it to be like this. Owning my wrongs, laying everything on the table, and just going for it. I've always been a fan and this made me love Elton even more.

Sooo incredible, especially at the tail end where it got shocking and surprising, but ended very gratifyingly.
