[dUb]

For discussion of this part of the book

Spoiler restrictions NOT in place

 

[SDF]

I want a box of those MC tissues

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Already feeling emotional at that pic of wee Mariah!

 

[K.C.]

Pin thread plz

 

[dUb]

That Audible intro

written and performed by Maraaaah Carey

 

[SDF]

There should have been a separate thread for the preface tbh x

 

[SDF]

“I saw them both riddled with regret”

 

[SDF]

[at the age of 3] “I sung it back to her in perfect Italian”

 

[Berly]

Oh my gosh I feel really emotional! I’m only up to Existence and it feels so raw, so personal, so emancipating!

I love her. I think I’ll fall asleep listening to her read every night for the rest of my life.

 

[Loufoque]

I'm reading rather than listening. Although I think that it would be better to hear her say all these words. I enjoyed the gay uncles and understanding why she's such a glamour puss.

 

[dUb]

Oh my gosh I feel really emotional! I’m only up to Existence and it feels so raw, so personal, so emancipating!

I love her. I think I’ll fall asleep listening to her read every night for the rest of my life.

Same. Chills listening to An Intention

 

[dUb]

“The two of them had a similar energy that seemed to block light” about her siblings

She’s not holding back

 

[dUb]

I know we have Michaela to thank in part but it’s so well-written

 

[dUb]

“And that night, I became less of a kid and more of a miracle”

 

[Lucille]

Omg it sounds incredible, downloading now girls, I’ve never done an audiobook before but I feel this really needs to be HEARD.

 

[dUb]

Absolutely! We love an acapella Sunflowers for Alfred Roy moment, not available in hard copy

 

[supermassive]

This is all I could see in my head when she described the Ritz cracker MOMENT

 

[dUb]

The THEATRICS of the linguine incident

 

[dUb]

This is all I could see in my head when she described the Ritz cracker MOMENT

 

[SDF]

Absolutely! We love an acapella Sunflowers for Alfred Roy moment, not available in hard copy

and there are many!

Shout out for The Art of Letting Go too

 

[SDF]

I didn’t realise she had quite as bad a relationship with her mum

 

[SDF]

The THEATRICS of the linguine incident

I burst out laughing to that

 

[SDF]

Loved Ashley with her gay mum, that she didn’t know about.

Ashley certainly knows now.

 

[SDF]

A lamb. A LAMB!

 

[SDF]

“Chop you up and put you in the refrigerator”

 

[dUb]

Being DISDAINFUL towards momagers in the book and sending Kris Jenner a copy

 

[dUb]

A lamb. A LAMB!

Just got to this bit

 

[dUb]

“Some of the names have been changed to protect the dickheads”

 

[Apoca]

"Time can be BLEAAAAAK, Daaaahling"

 

[dUb]

The portrayal of FRANÇOIS!

This audiobook is a TREAT

 

[Apoca]

5 minutes into the audiobook and I AGREE. What a trip.

 

[SDF]

Omg the operatic MJ impersonation of her mum

anyone not listening to the audio book is so missing out

 

[HeLikedTurner]

It’s all just TOO MUCH. I’m hanging on her every syllable.

 

[Lucille]

I’ve only just started but the emotional and intellectual depth she gives her 4 year old self is too much!

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I’m not enamoured with either of her parents. Just give her the goddamn 50c for the ice-cream, never mind the lesson in finance! She’s a child!

 

[dUb]

I was hoping the boy doing her hair on the way to the beach would turn out to be a young Kristofer Buckle

 

[dUb]

Wandering around in the sun listening to this is absolute Rainbow track 3

 

[SDF]

“I vowed I was not going to be promiscuous ever”

omg me too babe x

 

[dUb]

I’ve only just started but the emotional and intellectual depth she gives her 4 year old self is too much!

Consistent with her advanced artistic skills from Me. I Am Mariah. It checks out

 

[SDF]

“And an older woman named Denise. Older. She was maybe 28”
