I should read the synopsis before I pick things up. I didn’t realize this was more a concert than a book but I enjoyed it either way. Alex is a phenomenal talent and I can’t wait to see what else she does.

More of a concert than a novel, I found this browsing Audible to use credits up and saw this was free. As a massive Newell fan, I was excited to hear the wit and the immaculate vocals we’ve all come to expect, and they did not disappoint. The stories within range from humorous to heartbreaking. A quick listen that will delight your ears.

“a diva knows that giving one’s all does not guarantee a return on that deposit”

didn’t expect a world class show with this selection but love it.

This was an entertaining musical comedy special. I was not super familiar with Alex Newell & a simple internet search fixed that!

I love Newell's story and this was a quick but fun addition to it wherein they went into some details on their role models, lessons learned and experiences including the Glee house. Fun quick listen
