This amazing book tells the story of an appalling childhood with truth and clarity unsmudged by self-pity. It grips from beginning to end." — Diana Athill. Use I even when you’re one of multiple subjects in a sentence. When there is another subject, mention them first. When we first opened, we were so welcomed by the community and Chamber,” Mancini said. “I have never seen such an outpouring of love and acceptance at a store opening. We received lovely write-ups and lots of word-of-mouth referrals from our friends eager to share what our boutique is about, including how customer service-oriented we are.” The difference between me and I is how they’re used in sentences.

Maggie & Me is equal parts heartbreaking, heartwarming and liberating.

Damien's childhood is an amalgamation of abuse, struggle, love, friendship, survival and ultimately triumphant, coming out in a straight world. The irrational guilt which Damien spent his childhood drowning in breaks your heart and the toxic environment surrounding his upbringing. Yet a warm, loving and intelligent child who deeply cares and is protective of his mum and sister Teenie. A loyal friend to Mark and Heather and eventually a successful journalist revisiting his place of upbringing in the end. By contrast, if she’d sung, “They’re nothing like Billy and I,” that wouldn’t work — “They’re nothing like I” just sounds wrong. (Unless you add “am” to the end of that sentence, but let’s not overcomplicate things.)In 1982 Eddy Shah, then the owner of six local newspapers in Cheshire, became the first proprietor to take on the country's powerful print unions and win. He invoked Thatcher's newly-created industrial laws which gave employers greater protection against the unions, forcing his employees to the bargaining table. He later founded the national newspaper 'Today'. And I” is so often drilled into children as the correct formulation that we can sometimes forget that it mainly applies when followed by a verb. In many situations, “and me” is actually correct.
