    About this audiobook

    Voice Lessons is the story of one younger sister growing up in the shadow of a larger-than-life older sister—looking up to her, wondering how they were alike and how they were different and, ultimately, learning how to live her own life and speak in her own voice on her own terms.

    As Cara Mentzel, studied, explored, married, gave birth (twice) and eventually became an elementary school teacher, she watched her sister, Idina Menzel, from the wings and gives listeners a front row seat to opening night of Rent and Wicked, a seat at the Tonys, and a place on the red carpet when her sister taught millions more, as the voice of Queen Elsa in the animated musical Frozen, to "Let It Go." Voice Lessons is the story of sisters—sisters with pig tails, sisters with boyfriends and broken hearts, sisters as mothers and aunts, sisters as teachers and ice-queens, sisters as allies and confidantes.

    As Cara puts it, "My big sister is Tony-Award-Winning, Gravity-Defying, Let-It-Go-Singing Idina Menzel who has received top billing on Broadway marquees, who has performed for Barbra Streisand and President Obama, at the Super Bowl and at the Academy Awards. The world knows her as 'Idina Menzel', but I call her 'Dee'." Voice Lessons is their story.

      This is a book I never thought I needed. The way Cara elaborated every single memory brings us right onto the porch of that moment and I love every single one of it. Often times I've found myself sobbing and laughing through every chapter without even realizing it. And it really helps that this audiobook is narrated by Cara herself because by that I was able to connect more of her story. I was raised as the only child, but reading this book makes me feel like having experienced the same things she has experienced as a little sister, I actually felt like having a bigger sister I never had. I realized things about myself that Cara has pointed out about hers, like struggling to find my own voice, a struggle for sure people can relate whether you have a big sister or not, and harder if you have a bigger sister who clearly is more successful and talented than you think you are. One thing for sure is that this book made me want to have a blood sister of my own, or at least have Cara as a best friend. This is a book I'll surely revisit again some time if not soon.
