This is a book about the vicious impact of trauma across a lifetime; it is about Lucy’s successes and mistakes, her journey towards sobriety, calm and something like peace. Most of all, Process is an extraordinary story about a gifted artist, and an expose of the toxic underbelly of noughties celebrity culture and reality TV.
I remember Lucy being on X Factor, she was really bloody good. I also remember her seeming to fall off the face of the earth. Now I know why.
I listened to this on audiobook, and I’m glad I did. Lucy tells her own story in her own voice, and I learned so much about her that I never knew before. I didn’t know she was a worky-ticket when she was a teenager, very rebellious, always getting into fights, and it was only after hurting someone quite bad, she realised what she was doing.
What happened to her during X Factor was awful, something no one should ever have to go through, and my heart broke for her as she talked about it.
Her love for music is what really stood out though, she has sang forever, and enjoy it so much. I love her song Tea and Toast, I’m sure everyone does, and I had it on repeat after listening to her book. I’m glad I read this, she’s come such a long way. I’m so glad shes happy now.
