Critic reviews

‘Full blooded and gutsy… a hearty, fullblooded read: a gutsy tale of highoctane showbiz survival from one of popular culture’s true 20th- (and 21st-) century stars’ THE OBSERVER

‘No-holds-barred memoir’ DAILY MAIL

‘Cherilyn Sarkisian’s life story is jaw-dropping…Could one celebrity’s life really stretch to more than one book? This, it turns out, was very much the wrong question. The correct one is, is there enough paper in the world to contain a life as jaw-dropping as Cher’s? Judging from The Memoir: Part One, the answer is no’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘I practically inhaled it…it’s a riot: a revelatory, self-deprecating tale’ THE TIMES

‘A detailed and characteristically profane recollection of its author’s eventful life…these 400 pages show the mettle behind the Mackie. Here’s to a sequel with sequins, expected in 2025’ THE NEW YORK TIMES

'A must-read' STYLIST

'Her wit and candour shine through as she shares stories of love, loss, and resilience. For fans and newcomers alike, the memoir is a vivid reminder of Cher’s enduring influence and the fearless spirit that make her a timeless queen of the industry' GLAMOUR

'Full of unforgettable memories and insights' COSMOPOLITAN

‘Cher, ever the chameleon, shows her true colors…Utterly candid’ THE WASHINGTON POST

‘[Cher is] intelligent, sensitive and engaging…A fun read, a candid and well-written book that will justifiably make her legion of fans excited for the release of the second volume’ THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

‘Best music book of 2024’ THE TELEGRAPH

‘The first part of Cher: The Memoir is as playful as it is eye-opening…the first part of Cher’s memoir is still packed full of punch’ The London Standard

'The book, which takes us up to the 1980s and the beginning of her acting career, is so fraught with drama, danger and reversals in fortune that it unfolds like an American picaresque. I can’t wait for the next instalment.' THE GUARDIAN

‘Book of the week’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

I loved this first part of Chers account of her life. Cannot wait for the second instalment. What a Woman!

Fascinating

Cher's had a tormented life but she's so much of an optimist that she just made it work regardless maybe a bit naïvely. Having been walked all over by her first husband it baffles me that she still has the patience to even look him in the eye let alone continue to work with him. He used her. For all she is. Which is infuriating to listen to.

Incredibly interesting to hear the inside of the life of a superstar but so infuriating

Whilst it is not all narrated by Cher, it's a fascinating listen all the same.

Cher is an icon!
