When I was little I loved watching The Sonny and Cher show on television. I would stand atop our hassock with my pen that I used as a microphone and sing right along with them.
I also visited the library regularly and checked out their albums that I would then play over and over on our record player.
Cher has always fascinated me. I read a biography from the public library when I was in elementary school, so I knew a few bits and pieces of her early life, but I was excited to see that Cher was going to tell her story in her own words.
This book is the first of a two-part memoir. Maybe a little overly detailed, I did enjoy the parts that I remembered from childhood. From her time meeting Sonny Bono to the birth of her son Elijah (which is where this memoir ends), these familiar pieces of her life were a blast from the past and I appreciated the nostalgic walk down memory lane. I also think it gives a more full picture of Cher and her perspective on things.
I'm looking forward to part 2, and find myself listening to All I Ever Need Is You on repeat.
