Spare

I basically agreed with the Who Weekly? episode about this memoir–it's startling how un-curious Harry seems to be about most things in the world, and the military section of the book was really boring. But I kind of give Harry (and his ghostwriter) credit for the honesty here–like I know a lot of jokes have been made about Harry citing BrainyQuote.com but I'm kind of like, “Good for him for just saying ‘I read this quote on BrainyQuote.com' instead of pretending like he read it in a book.” But also, Haz, maybe read a book??? Like one?? lol

My favorite anecdote in here that I haven't already seen called out in the press was about a time when he was at a party at Courteney Cox's house and saw Will Arnett, and asked his friend where he recognized Will Arnett from, and the friend was like, “Batman” and Harry was like “Huh?? OH...LEGO BATMAN” and then he went to Will Arnett and was like “DO THE VOICE” and Will Arnett was like “what” and Harry was like “THE BATMAN VOICE” and then Will Arnett did the Batman voice, and then Harry was like “YAY AGAIN!” and then Will Arnett did the Batman voice again and then gave Harry shrooms

ANYWAY I read this mostly out of curiosity and like, I do think it's pretty clear that the Royal Family has been racist and shitty and also that paparazzi are a nightmare, and good for Harry and Meghan getting out. I enjoyed many of the anecdotes collected in here. If you are less interested, you can probably hear about most of the most interesting bits summarized on podcasts and such.
