PanLibrary JournalBlondie lead singer Harry\'s...memoir is a rambling mess with questionable reliability, proclamations of clairvoyance, obvious memory lapses, and a heavy thread of sexual abuse that leaves readers feeling as if they have intimately experienced trauma. For every moment of positive sexuality, there are horror stories about the men surrounding her ... Her treatment of the subject is equally horrifying. When she doesn\'t gloss over the events with a sort of nihilistic detachment, she makes excuses for her assailants, blames her irresistible sexuality, and, in one passage, attributes her abusive ex-boyfriend\'s possessive and paranoid behavior to his previous girlfriends. Harry is at her best when talking about the New York of her youth and the fashion and music she loved and worked on throughout her life. That\'s where readers will connect with her ... Harry indicated that she didn\'t want to write a memoir, and it shows. Not recommended.

Recommended for all readers interested in astronomy, general science, the nature of scientific collaboration, or humanity\'s search to understand the universe.
