Publisher's Summary

Written with a searing honesty and published for the 10th anniversary of Amy Winehouse's death, 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 13. 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 27.

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.

Fine line between success and mess.

Some people say “such a waste of talent”, not really, I’m truely thankful that we had the chance to hear that talent.
Brilliantly written and narrated by Tyler, if you ever want to know the real definition of a Soul Mate, read this book.

raw, insightful & genuine

This book pulled me in so quickly and I couldn't stop going back to it once I started. I am in awe of this man and also getting to see the reality of Amy's life. I balled my eyes out at the end. Well done Tyler. RIP Amy Whinehouse

Sad

I feel like the author still has no idea how much he enabled Amy and how much he took advantage of her, no matter how he continues to justify it to himself.

Brilliant, intense & truely heartbreaking

This was a brilliant read, well told and full of highs and lows. Whilst tragic and heartbreaking, I’m really glad Tyler shared these memories.
