Little Girl Blue by Randy L. Schmidt ✔✔✔

A biography of Karen Carpenter, I've been reading bits and pieces of this over the last few months and finally finished it.  What a sad story of an amazing singer - from a domineering mother who encouraged her brother Richard far more than she did Karen, to the schmuck she married, her struggles with anorexia - she was 75 pounds when she died of a heart attack at age 31.
