Reviews
The chief strength of [The Rise and Rise of Chappell Roan] is in its delineation of Roan's skills. Jahanzeb and St. Asaph's song-by-song analysis is illuminating, while the 250-plus colour photos make the book eye-catching. Sparkly, sassy, but with a strong foundation, much like Roan herself. -- Genevieve Williams * Library Journal *
