Narrator: Sara Bareilles

I enjoy Sara Bareilles' songs. I just do. They make me want to sing along, which is why I picked this audio up from the library. Sara reads this collection of 8 essays and sing pieces of a few of her songs along the way. It's like talking to an old friend. She's honest and lets us see parts of her life. She shares her insecurities, her struggles with body image, her struggles as a beginning songwriter. I think listening to the audio was the way to go though, rather than reading it in print. You can tell that she really cares about people and is thrilled when her songs connect to people, inspires people, let people know that they're not alone. She's very affirming of others, especially young women. I love how she doesn't take herself too seriously though. She keeps the tone light throughout and I enjoyed the different tones she uses when she laughs at herself. It's a fun...
