Musical sensation Billie Eilish narrates this quick memoir about her extraordinary rise to fame. Her signature rasp permeates her delivery. There are only a few chapters, and these race by via Eilish's casual delivery. In addition to talking about her music and her brother, musician Finneas O'Connell, Eliish is joined by her parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, at various points to fill in the background on family memories. The overall off-the-cuff style of everyone's delivery makes this audiobook sound like a podcast. Some listeners may find Baird's and O'Connell's interjections abrupt. But, overall, their warm, funny, and kind exchanges create the sense of a fireside chat for listeners. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine -

At 19, singer-songwriter Eilish has already achieved monumental success--she's the second person in history (and the youngest) to win the four main Grammy awards, she's already worth $30 million, and she just released a movie concert experience with Disney. With this collection of 19 years' worth of pictures, she shares her passion for photography and its ability to capture the most intimate moments. Taken by Eilish, as well as by family members, friends, and professional photographers, the images chronicle the artist's childhood (including her Justin Bieber posters and her dancing and aerial arts classes) and her career: Eilish is shown signing her first record deal, performing at small music festivals and major venues, attending the Grammy Awards, directing her own videos, and singing on Saturday Night Live. Eilish lets the photos speak for themselves, and they offer a glimpse into the stress of being a teenage star; one photo is described as depicting "the worst mental state she was in," while others portray her leg injuries. She also shares photos of her dedicated fans and the many rescue puppies she often features at her shows. VERDICT Eilish's numerous fans will appreciate the star's vulnerability and desire to connect.--Lisa Henry, Kirkwood P.L., MO
