She is very honest in this book about so much, and didn't censor anything in this re-issue. I'm a bit surprised that she re-released this book, because at this time with the 'Me Too Movement' and all, and the reality that Elvis invited Priscilla into his life romantically at the age of 14 and basically groomed her to his liking until he was finally prompted to marry her when she was old enough.mmmm. My reaction to Priscilla's revelations is a lot different now, obviously. When I first read this I was a newly married working woman in my twenties back in the eighties. She genuinely laughed recounting many stories, and transformed her voice when narrating dialogue from other characters in Elvis's circle (her experience as an actress helped here, I imagine). I don't think I could have enjoyed an audio version if she hadn't given it the personal touch and authenticity by reading it herself. I was fortunate to have experienced this book on audio, delightfully read by Priscilla Presley herself. Now, with a new cover depicting their wedding day, it is finally available in all reading formats. I guess Priscilla decided to finally re-release it, almost four decades later, because of all the increased interest about Elvis with the new movie I now prefer to read on kindles, and noticed that this book (which originally came out in 1985) was not available digitally. I finally visited Graceland in 2019, and was reminded of this book. It introduced me to the world of Elvis, and from that point on I greedily would read any book that came out about him. It was a blockbuster hit with the public and probably prompted me to buy the book. But when I watched the television series (based on the book) in 1988 starring Dale Midkiff as Elvis and Susan Walters as Priscilla, I was transfixed. I was a teenager in high school when Elvis passed away, but had no particular interest in him.

I had the original paperback copy which is probably dog-eared because I re-read it several times. This is actually one of my favorite books.
