Let Love Rule

Love Lenny Kravitz and was super excited to receive this memoir. This was a lot of fun to read and listen to (I switched back and forth). Who wouldn't want to listen to his sexy voice??!!

I always had a feeling he was a bit of a wild child and it was interesting to read about how he grew up. The only thing that irked me is that his story stops short so we are left with a tease of a half-finished journey. Come on Lenny!!??

The book focuses on his childhood and very young adulthood up until the point when his daughter was born and he launched his first album. He talked about what it was like to grow up with parents who were a big deal in showbiz and his relationship with different people. He had a tense relationship with his father, great one with his mom, grandparents, and extended family and he was into music from a young age, obviously. He name-drops a lot of famous people but of course, that would happen as his parents were very well-connected. It's no surprise man famous people had been in his life from a young age. The biggest struggle in his life was his relationship with his father but it's all green lights from there. He received so much love and attention from the rest of his family and friends that it's no wonder he could just surf confidently through life.

This memoir was generally just factual, nothing too in-depth or anything but hearing about all the support he received did make me think a lot about how a lot of us are not fortunate to experience that. And I don't mean the financial support for the connections, I mean the affection and encouragement he received in critical moments of his life, only a few people are fortunate enough to get this in their lives.
