Reseñas de la Crítica

"An unflinching, unputdownable book." (Guardian)

"A fresh, direct voice, used bravely, with nuance and style.... Uniquely candid." (New Statesman)

"Allen has a flair for storytelling.... [My Thoughts Exactly] should be required reading for anyone who dreams of fame." (Daily Telegraph)

Brutally honest

She spills all the tea about her life and is very interesting. I loved it

So good

Brutal and honest it is a great listen! I did’t know much about Lily and wanted to hear about the loss of her son as I just lost mine. Her story is amazing and so honest.

Its Lily's truth and I love her even more for it!

Lily has shown courage and bravery in airing out all the details of her life so far. Her bad bits, her amazingly honest and truthful bits, and the happy bits. She has maintained her integrity in her writing as she always has done through song. She has drawn attention to some serious issues that plague men and woman alike. I could not stop listening once I had started and to have Lily read it herself made it ever the more special. Thank you Lily!

Oh wow, a celebrity as human as some of us

This book is shocking, well written, and honest. It covers the bulk of Lily Allen’s career, personal downfall, and uprising. A fantastic read. If you’re a fan, you’ll love her more! If you aren’t a fan, you’ll at best enjoy the book and respect her.

I misjudged Lily Allen

Such a well written and interesting book. I misjudged lily, i highly respect ppl who can admit to mistakes they have made. Lily is very humble and honest. This book is easy to read and a book that i will recommend to many friends, family and colleagues

Lily is an icon

She is completely honest with herself and you can tell. As she tells her story I can see her growth as a person, woman, mother, wife, etc. love her.

Open, honest and brilliant

A true inside view of what life is actually like on the other side of the media. Interesting and Brilliantly read. A true honest and open account, well worth a listen.

Great Memoir

I loved that Lily Allen narrated the book and found her voice soothing. I liked her style of writing - not all chronological but weaved together well nonetheless. I didn't know much of the drama in the press surrounding her life as it didn't show up as much in American news, but I commend her for dealing with it in her own way.

I enjoyed her openness and expected nothing less, as her music is very much that style. This book is certainly her thoughts exactly.

Synchronicity

I came across this book at a local bookstore casually after hearing her songs at several places. I’ve been a huge fan of her songs and songwriting in general. She’s very witty and unapologetic even in her book. She conforms to her own ideals and is not just another popstar but above all proves she is a woman, a daughter and a mother. Since I don’t end up finishing hardcovers I invested in the audiobook. Best decision ever. She walks you through her own world in her own words; through good and bad. Very empowering for girls in their 20s. Very inspiring.

Feel just like a friend chatting about herself

Very down to earth narrative of her life by herself. I love it! It is inspiring and relaxing at the same time to listen to. Nothing hard to understand and I feel I know her so much better now. I think this can be especially good for teenagers to listen to actually as I love her description and analysis of how her character is shaped by experiences from her childhood and teenage years throughout the whole book. I wish Lily will write more books in addition to songs in the future!
