‘Cherilyn Sarkisian’s life story is jaw-dropping…Could one celebrity’s life really stretch to more than one book? This, it turns out, was very much the wrong question.

This book has made me a little obsessed by Cher! It’s a compelling listen and interesting because, as I am an 80’s child, this is the sort of like the origins story of the big haired singer and actress that I knew (I should say that I would describe myself as a Cher fan, but I find her interesting and have loved some of her acting roles). During the book, I found myself feeling as if I knew her and became genuinely invested in her story. I can’t wait for the sequel.
