I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with a few pages wrinkled and the cover bent. I love Joni's music, so I'm bummed I can't fully enjoy it as intended. I'll see if I can exchange it.

Interesting, but Could Use More Depth
I found the book interesting, but I was hoping for more in-depth exploration of her lyrics. The layout is nice, and the personal anecdotes are a nice touch. Just wish it dug deeper into her musical influences.
