Written with a searing honesty, My Amy is an evocative portrait of unbreakable lifelong friendship – and a devastating study into fame, addiction and self-sabotage.
Only one person knows what really happened to Amy, other than Amy herself. He is Tyler James, Amy’s best friend from the age of thirteen. They met at stage school as two insecure outsiders, formed an instant connection and lived together from their late teenage years right up until the day she died, aged just twenty-seven.
Tyler was there by her side through it all. From their carefree early years touring together to the creation of the multiple Grammy-winning Back To Black, which she wrote on their kitchen floor. From her volatile marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil through her escalating addictions, self-harm and eating disorders as the toxic nature of fame warped Amy’s reality. For the last three years of her life, Tyler was with her every day when she’d beaten drugs and was close to beating alcoholism too. He also knew better than anyone the real Amy Winehouse who the tabloid-reading public rarely saw – the hilarious, uncompromising force-of-nature busy taking care of everyone else.
We all think we know what happened to Amy Winehouse, but we don’t. This definitive insider’s story tells us all, finally, the truth.

Jättebra biografi om Amy Winehouse .Inget filter allt kom fram om hennes liv och sorger .Väldigt bra uppläst och skrivet av hennes allra närmsta vän ❤️

I recommend reading this and Amy’s father’s book as they complement each other. It’s a very sad story of an extremely talented person who never got to be herself and never got proper treatment for her diagnoses that she surely had. Her music and her extravagant style lives on. I wish I had met her some time, I also drank in Hawley Arms before Amy!

En ärlig och hjärtskärande berättelse om hur livet verkligen såg ut för Amy och de personer hon levde tillsammans med. Tyler James är fantastisk när han berättar med inlevelse och direkt från hjärtat om personen som betydde ALLT för honom.
