I listened to Brandi’s audiobook version and there is something incredibly intimate about listening to her southern accent tell her story. At the beginning of the acknowledgments she talks about how odd it is to write a memoir going into your forties, but if there’s one thing this book has reassured in me, it’s that everything happens for a reason. Brandi is filled with creativity, strength, empathy, inspiration and aspiration, and surprising humor. Honestly, Brandi could’ve filled these pages with absolute nonsense and I would’ve fallen deeply in love with it and more deeply in love with her (if that’s possible), so perhaps I’m a bit bias. I recommend Broken Horses to anyone who cares about art and other people. Also, I highly recommend the audiobook- each chapter ends with Brandi singing a song or 2 with her acoustic guitar and it’s guaranteed to make you melt every time.
