'Brutally honest.. this memoir is a sizzler.' -- Daily Telegraph
'Searingly honest account of an extraordinary life ... powerful stuff.' -- Radio Times
'A jaw-dropping memoir. Arnold's resilience sparkles throughout. This isn't just surviving, it's flourishing.' -- Mojo
'An adroit blend of pathos and self-deprecating honesty. Its occasionally shocking and even heart-wrenchingly tragic in places, but ultimately the book's tone is a triumphant one. 4/5' -- Record Collector
'An extraordinary book by an extraordinary artist.' -- Lauren Laverne
'Very powerful.' -- Emma Barnett, Woman's Hour
'Explosive.' -- Daily Mail

'Not long after arriving in England, I met P.P. Arnold. On reflection, she was just like me. Determined, naïve, in a world we did not understand. We spent a lot of hours at IBC Studios in Portland Place recording new songs that still, today, bring back such amazing memories. I will never forget those times. Pat was on the ascent until the terrible moment of her daughter's passing. This brought Pat to her knees. It was the saddest time. What I think I understand now is what real loss means and Pat understood that long before I did. I relish those times we spent together. Those are some of the great memories.' -- Barry Gibb
'Exceptional!' -- Craig Charles
