Such a sad and terrifying time for them. Farrah was so strong and an incredible person to share her journey. Alana is a wonderful friend to have stayed with her. I recommend this to everyone.

So moving & heartbreaking at the same time. Story of a beautiful, unconditional friendship that few experience. Farrah had such an indomitable spirit & zest for life! She will always be remembered for that!

Inspiring and Compelling

From start to finish is audiobook was so interesting, uplifting, and life affirming despite the obviously sad narrative. Alana did a great job balancing the storyline to include the fun and heartbreaking stories of both Farrah's life and her own. Check it out.

Very compelling even though you know the end

None.

Farrah's sense of humor regarding a Jaguar lease.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book. It is impossible to listen to this and not be touched by it.

Farrah

I enjoyed reading the book about Farrah Fawcett. I thought it was well written, beautifully read and touching. However I did come across with an upsetting feeling about Alana popping Ativans. Is everyone in Hollywood on some sort of medication? I just think that Ativan must be passed out in Hollywood like candy on Halloween. We all go through tough daily struggles without popping Ativans. This book although it moved me deeply about the struggles and hardship that Farrah endured during her ordeal with cancer and the committment of her friend to stay by her side as a support also left me wondering about some other things....All in all I liked the book and would recommend readers reading the book.

Sorry that I spent time with this book

I should have paid more attention to the critical reviews, but I took a chance. Suffice it to say, this was a shallow read, and certainly missed the point of the actual courage, bravery, and strength of Farrah Fawcett during her journey with cancer. This story, as the title clearly states, is not about that. It's about her friend's version which, with all due respect to the work she does now for the Foundation, is not a story that has any relevance to the fight against cancer. Even as a caregiver myself, it just didn't resonate.
