Respect for this Illinois renegade!

Revisado: 09-22-24

As a resident of Illinois, I obviously knew of Adam Kinzinger. (Cannot say that I agreed with his political views and actions.)
After the January 6th Committee Hearings, I can say I developed respect for him.
Now that I have listened to this book, I can state that I greatly appreciate that he chose to speak TRUTH. That he chose to honor his INTEGRITY and not an evil alliance for the sake of a political career. That he chooses to continue to SPEAK out.

The book is well written and Adam is an excellent narrator. I have recommended it to many and will continue to do so.

Truth be told!!!!

Revisado: 06-18-24

There is nothing that I disliked about this book!

Liz Cheney has shared the TRUTH and process about January 6, 2021 with us all. I appreciate and respect her for doing so.
Deciding to join the Committee to investigate the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Trump and January 6, 2021 is 100% admirable.
We saw the culmination of a specific plan -live on television on January 6 - but did not know the “behind the scenes” and “acts” that many Republicans were part of. Exposing it all was certainly the toughest political move she must have ever made.

I was not sure that I could endure her voice for the entirety but her narration was excellent! I paused and took breaks from this frightful account only because of how horrific it is.

I highly recommend this book and will share it with as many people as possible.

I Could NOT finish listening!

Revisado: 02-10-24

A great story. I love the author but... I had to stop listening to the book. Her voice and tone were NOT what I expected. I attempted many times because Ms. Cisneros is an amazing writer. I just could not, so I finished READING the book. Wish I had listened sooner so that I could have returned the book.

Gabby! Like the character Juliet- Your gift is to write

Revisado: 12-03-21

There is so much I can say about this book; positive!!! All of it!!!!
I am a 60 year old Puerto Rican woman, born in the United States but lived 1/3 of my life in Puerto Rico, and I can identify with this novel.
Wow! It is as if Gabby- as Juliet, was in my head many decades ago and simultaneously experienced life.
Questions, culture, Latina queer as compared to White lesbian/ gay/ queer. Juliet’s tia never questioning that she could love a woman then love and marry a man and be happy; coming out to family; feeling confused about a first love and knowing when to move on. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
OMG, or in buen Boricua Spanish: Coño!!!
( Este libro es excelente para la juventud y para nosotras, las que ya vivimos muchas de estas experiencias y ahora quieren vivir más.)

Will Never Be Tired of Hearing This Story

Revisado: 11-14-21

Benefitted from Title IX!
Saw Billy Jean beat that chauvinist man when I was 12 and loved it! Was so proud and felt vindicated knowing that I had beat many boys and women were doing it in the “real world.”
Billy Jean was easy to listen to. Grateful that she narrated this story. Thank you Audible.
Original 9 Hall of Famers!!!

A short but good listen!

Revisado: 07-06-21

I found the combination of songs and history quite interesting. I did not have to learn something new to appreciate the perspective.
I hope others who are not people of color, can listen without the deep rooted prejudice I know exists in this country.

Music is key in my life too!

Revisado: 04-22-21

Although it took me a while to finish the book, it was easy to “fall” back into it each time.
I was able to connect with experiences, similar programs, and definitely the music chosen by Cristela.
I knew who she was before listening but now feel like I really know her. We are of different Latino ethnicity yet... we have common life experiences, especially the ignorant question: “Where are you from?” I wonder if she would agree with me that when I get the question from another person of color, I feel like they are asking to know about my culture, language, and experiences in a positive regard; to learn.
When I get the question from Caucasians, I feel like they are QUESTIONING my place in this country- USA. Certainly NOT in a positive way.

I thought I could enjoy some bourbon as I listened

Revisado: 07-23-20

Okay, in all honesty, I have not finished the book. I just couldn’t. Now, this does not mean that I will not listen again, but... it is not a book to listen to as you enjoy a bourbon.
The narrator talks a mile a minute- if that makes sense. He talks so fast, I had to stop several times in different chapters to make sure I understood. I felt rushed! I started to drink to fast- not what you want to do with a bourbon.
I looked at the chapter titles again, convinced myself that it would get better, tried again, but- for now I give up. Maybe on cold winter days, when I want to learn and be energized, I will be able to listen for longer periods of time. I so want to learn more about bourbon but this may not be the book for me.

I Liked It! I Really Liked It!

Revisado: 07-20-20

Have followed Sally Field since The Flying Nun. I was a few years too young to have appreciated Gidget. She is an amazing actor!
This story is touching, raw, and heart- breaking and I am sure no one else could have told it but Sally Field. It is also a true story of survival, live, and success.
I listened to it in two days. The first day for six hours. I could not tear away. I wanted to know more.
I highly recommend the book!
