Obviously named in tribute to one of her biggest hits “Electric Youth” (which, unbelievably, is 36 years old now), pop star Debbie Gibson’s Eternally Electric is a far better read than we were perhaps expecting. On one hand, you think “How good can the memoir of a pop princess who peaked in the ‘80s be?” But then the human side kicks in, plus the fact that Gibson can pen a sentence, and it all becomes very engaging. We learn of the challenges of child stardom, her highs and the lows, and her recent comeback. Before it really gets going, we’re 100 percent rooting for her.
