While listening you can hear the struggle Price had in overcoming her demons while also being able to overcome. The pacing of the chapter keep the reader engaged and wondering what comes. I picked up the title being familiar with her music and through reading this helped me understand the lyrics more clearly.

Excellent story of Margo Price's battle for success and family. This was an inside look at all the ups and downs of trying to make it in the music business. This was a raw and honest telling of rock'n'roll struggles.

Somehow I have not heard of Margo Price until I listened to this book, I am so excited to pick up some albums and listen to more of her music. I was invested in her story and really admired her strength through this coming of age memoir. I appreciated the honestly and vulnerability that we get from the author telling us her struggles with drugs, child loss, and just getting through life's challenges.

This work is a memoir written by country singer Margo Price about her journey from being a struggling artist in Nashville to playing on the Saturday Night Live stage. The first two-thirds of the work is probably quite typical for folks trying to make it big in the US’s music industry – alcoholism, drug abuse, working jobs they hate before leaving them, and getting taken advantage of were major themes of this section of the work. It wasn’t until the last third of the work that I felt that Margo’s story really diverged from this. She laid out her lowest points without trying to justify why she did what she did, and she wasn’t afraid to get emotional and deeply personal in other parts.

I enjoyed learning about the evolution of her musical style. After hearing about her love of the Kinks and Joni Mitchell, I began to pick out some of their influence in her music, which was very cool. I’ve enjoyed listening to her for the last couple of years and hearing her story told in her voice was an intimate experience. Her narration was perfect, and I loved that when she was talking about a song, a section of the song would play (some of them were unreleased ones, which was exciting!).

This memoir showed me that Margo’s writing skills go beyond music, and it was also an interesting insight into her life so far. I enjoyed this read overall and recommend it to folks interested in the life of a struggling artist in the 90s and 2000s or those looking for insight into Margo’s life. My thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for allowing me to read and review this work.

I love Margo Price so I was excited to read this and the book didn't let me down! I love Margo Price even more after reading this book. She is a wonderful storyteller and learning about her struggle to become an artist was riveting. It was so raw and real, highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a recent fan pf Margo Price, I found I'm a bigger fan now. It's a very straight forward memoir but really showcased her song writing skills. Inspiring... proof to never give up.

Wow! I didn't know much about Margo Price going into this book, but am always intrigued to read memoirs, particularly if they read their own book on audio. I really enjoyed this book, and found especially moving, hearing the author's voice retelling these sometimes dark and difficult memories. I loved the linear nature of the memoir, and appreciated that it mostly stayed on path without a lot of jumping back and forth from past to present. It was as if reading a novel, building on character development, and hearing a story from start to finish. The reader really could get a sense of the hard work that goes into an artist trying to break into the music industry, in this case both from a performance aspect, as well as producing music. I finished listening and immediately started searching for the music to hear the complete catalog. Listening to the audio, the reader was also gifted with snippets of some of the songs as well, which was a very nice touch. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of Margo Price, or even just a fan of music in general, any genre.

I was so glad that I listened to this as an audio book, rather than reading it, because you get the bonus of music!
I have been a fan of Margo's music for a few years now, and while I knew the basics of her life, this book filled in all the details and then some. She held nothing back and it was so raw, vulnerable, and emotional.. I have never sobbed so hard over a book. Margo held nothing back here, and it shows.
While I thought the book was well done, and understand that she was trying to show how much of a struggle it was for her to become the success she is today, I wish there would have been more about her successes. I just felt the book could have ended on a higher note than it did. Perhaps that was because of the publishing timeline, or maybe that's just not Margo's style. But I would definitely read more where she name drops everyone in country music and talks more about playing at the big venues and festivals.

Margo Price has narrated one of the most entertaining, original, and beautiful audiobooks. Maybe We'll Make It is a winner. She pulls out emotions as if she lived them through another body. Stagefright does not exist in her experiences. Despite the sufferings, she describes, her determination to succeed and perform helps her achieve greatness. Though many musicians and artists experience substance abuse and succumb to it, she gives her life to music and performance. With tragedies present in her storyline, the uplifting sounds of her songs, voice, and playing make this book more cheerful than it ought to be. I feel sorry for the people who experience hardships as they strive to achieve their dreams, but they also serve as inspiration to carry on. And for the people who try to change their act midstream, those ‘little darlings’ will be happy to keep singing. Because Margo, Jeremy, and her family give their followers proof to not give up. As a musician who loves to play, I feel as though this book will help me make it.

Thanks netgalley ans texas press for letting me read and reviw this book!

First stuff first-i first heard of matho price from parts unknowns nashville episode-they did a 30 second run down of her life which was wild, and a couple clips of her singing. I liked her album but then kind of forgot about her until i saw this book as a net gallery option and thought i wanted to hear more about her story on her terms.

Margos life is wild and i honestly dont know how she made it. The humility it took to write about some of her lowest lows, the strength to talk about the loss of her son and her desperate desire to make it in the music industry- all of it made this a great book. Sometimes i felt a little like we were extra country frying some of the language did effect and maybe we embellished some things to be bigger ans cooler than they were, but hey, that's where her fan base lives. I love that in the audiobook, which she narrated, what i am sure are lyric segments in the book are actually played/sung for you. I thought this memoir was great and i wish the best for her.

For my friend’s birthday, I purchased tickets for Margo’s book talk at the end of this month. Thanks to Net Galley, I didn’t have to wait to pick up my copy of the book and I got access to her audiobook.

I’ve been a fan of Margo for awhile. As she puts it, she writes sad ass songs with heavy grooves and that speaks to my soul on another level. I knew her book would do the same.

Margo is a life force. She had every setback an artist can have and more, but her determination never wavered. Life was not easy for her, but she’s not bitter about it and she doesn’t blame others for it. She’s honest that more often than not it was because of her own doing. She’s flawed and she’s wild. she is a testament to why it’s important to believe in yourself and love yourself despite your shortcomings. There is no one else like her.

My only complaint about this book is that it wasn’t twice as long. Margo gave us a lot, but I know there’s a lot more left to tell.

I loved this audiobook, thank you to Net Galley. To be honest, I hadn’t heard of Margo Price before, but read the synopsis & saw she was in the country music scene. I thoroughly enjoy country music & wanted to hear her story.
Margo narrates her own story. She is an amazing storyteller, as well as musician. I did not want to put it down. Her own music was integrated within the audiobook which made it that much better.

Margo has been through a lot of ups and downs trying to get her dream career in the music industry. She may not have been the “good girl” her parents & the industry wanted her to be, but it did not stop her from chasing her dream. Hearing Margo’s story was truly inspiring. She never gave up, even when she was at her lowest.

CW: drugs, alcohol, infant loss, sexual assault

I think they’ll make it. The audio book superbly read by Margo Price is fantastic and candid. I first heard about Margo through Healing Appalachia. She doesn’t hold back in telling about the whole lot of living she’s done in just thirty-nine years. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance audio copy.

I got this as an audiobook galley from NetGalley.

Normally I would have read this (as I do with most memoirs) but for this memoir I enjoyed listening to it much more. When Margo was talking about specific songs the intro/outros to the chapters would include snippets of the songs- some that were early songs or unreleased songs that I had never heard before!

It made for a very well-rounded listen to Margo’s long hard road to the top of the country music heap where she belongs.
