review: Editorial Reviews Review "A full-circle triumph for Carey... The writing in this book is arresting. Carey is rendered as much a spiritual force as a musical prodigy ― resilient, self-aware, and also funny, in her regal way." - The New York Times “ The Meaning of Mariah Carey is an instant classic of pop diva lit” - Rolling Stone "We finally get to meet the real woman behind the image of a diva... Now, by releasing her memoir, Mariah Carey is finally free―and she's offering that key to freedom to readers who have longed to hear her true story so they can better understand their own. It seems she has finally, after all these years, become the butterfly she's always wanted to be." - O Magazine "Mariah Carey's memoir is her best performance yet." - L.A. Times " Any reader of her new memoir, will appreciate and devour unapologetic chapters that aim to take back the narrative on Carey's terms, dahling. " - USA Today " A fascinating memoir by a misunderstood star... A carefully pieced together self-portrait of one of this generation’s most fascinatingly idiosyncratic, frequently misunderstood artists from the ground up." - The Guardian “As piercing and specific as a song… Carey’s prose has rhythm and high drama… There’s plenty in the 337-page volume that will surprise even the most devoted Lambs. [Mariah Carey is] a miracle, a memoirist, a singer, a songwriter ― the girl’s got range. Famously so.” - Entertainment Weekly "Page-turning…Provides depth and valuable context around the experiences of a star... A wholly entertaining tale of a woman who made a harmony out of the discordant elements of her life." - Time Magazine "The notoriously private Mariah Carey shares her personal experiences on her own terms. Nothing is left off the table." - Essence "Mariah Carey’s new book makes it official: We are in the golden age of the celebrity memoir" - The New York Post "Carey’s memoir is an incisive, entertaining, and impressively well-written account of her road from poverty and obscurity to superstardom." - The New Yorker "Vivid, powerful, and comforting" - BuzzFeed About the Author Mariah Carey is an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, producer and multiple award-winning artist and songwriter. She is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to-date and 19 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (18 of which are self-penned)―more than any solo artist in history.
