"This biography of the teen singer/songwriter shows a talented young woman in charge of her art and career. Touted as the first artist born in this century to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Eilish is presented here as someone who knows what she wants, full of creativity, and an embodiment of Gen Z proclivities. Beginning with her early childhood in a Los Angeles neighborhood (described here as being improved by gentrification) where she was home-schooled with Finneas, her brother and fellow musician, and moving on to the overnight sensation of her first song, this book covers the period up to the many awards she received at the 2020 Grammys. Exploring the writing and recording process of each hit song and video, it can serve as an empowering book for teens, who will see how Eilish kept control of her work and her life. While, due to her youth, others continually tried to take over her career, she is portrayed as being unapologetic about being a teenager with valid experience and perspectives. There is a chapter on Finneas' own musical successes, and breakout text goes into specific aspects of her life such as her veganism, Tourette syndrome, synesthesia, and her relationships with other pop stars, making some of this information feel isolated rather than integrated into the overall portrait of the artist. A straightforward and positive portrayal of a young singing sensation.
