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..

But for the story as a whole, I really wanted her to go deeper, into things that you can't really find on the internet.
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.
So lemme just say that I was never really a Paris fan, I guess for me she really got lumped in with KK and some of that other celebrity drama that I So lemme just say that I was never really a Paris fan, I guess for me she really got lumped in with KK and some of that other celebrity drama that I just didn’t care about.
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
