I grew up in an era with Boy George and most recently have seen him quite a few times on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a pop up friend of PK and some of the other girls who he mentions in the audiobook.
I thought, hey let me see what he has to say in his memoir since I was too young at the time when he was 'really big' to remember much and he seems like such a great and interesting person on RHOBH.
Unfortunately this was a DNF for me. I do read many memoirs, and I do prefer them in audio format but with this one... well I just wasn't a fan of the way he was rattling off memories so quickly. Almost like ticking them off his fingertips. I wanted to really dive into these memories and feel a little more from the book.
It just felt too rushed and I wasn't a fan.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media and Boy George for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. ...more
The writing... honestly painful at times. Maybe about a 5th grade reading level, disjointed and abrupt chapter endings. TThis is a generous 3 Stars..

The whole conservatorship is obviously sad, but we know so much of that story already- there was so much more I wanted from this and I feel like she shied away from it because they are touchy subjects- not saying SHE MUST WRITE THIS OR ELSE- just saying, HAD she .. it would have made for a killer memoir instead of the more surface level one we got- IN MY OPINION.

This memoir was fantastic! I laughed out loud with her so many times while listening, she kept it very real and down to earth.
I definitely related on such a basic human level to the things she went through, all the trauma. Honestly it’s haunting. I definitely gained a shit ton of respect for Paris. ♥️ rock on star!...more
