Perfect for you if...

You love Sara's music and want to understand the real stories and choices behind her biggest hits.
You're drawn to honest, funny essays about the messy reality of creating art on your own terms.
You appreciate memoir-style storytelling that doesn't shy away from failure, doubt, and the cost of ambition.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a traditional, chronological biography rather than personal essays tied to specific songs.
You want a deep dive into music production, songwriting technique, or behind-the-scenes industry gossip.
You prefer memoirs with high dramatic stakes or major life-altering events rather than quiet, introspective reflection.

About this book

An anniversary edition of this New York Times bestselling essay collection by two-time Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles features new material on the Broadway musical Waitress. Bareilles shares the joys and struggles of creating work while staying true to herself through essays marked by humor and confessional writing. The collection tells the inside story behind some of her most popular songs. Bareilles broke through in 2007 with her multi-platinum single "Love Song" and has since released seven studio albums that sold millions of copies and spawned several hits. She also created and starred in the Broadway musical Waitress. Sounds Like Me explores Bareilles' perspective on songwriting, soul-searching, and what unfolds along the way.
