In The Most Beautiful, a title inspired by the hit song Prince wrote about their legendary love story, Mayte Garcia for the first time shares the deeply personal story of their relationship and offers a singular perspective on the music icon and their world together: from their unconventional meeting backstage at a concert (and the long-distance romance that followed) to their fairy-tale wedding (and their groundbreaking artistic partnership) to the devastating losses that ultimately dissolved their romantic relationship for good. Throughout it all they shared a bond more intimate than any other in Prince’s life. No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince – both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist – than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career. The Most Beautiful is a book that will be returned to for decades, as Prince’s music lives on with generations to come.

She was on his level – the woman is deep and it comes through on every page of this beautiful telling of love and loss.Â
A haunting, beautiful portrait of life before and after love, tragedy, and loss A wonderfully written insight into a loving, complicated, tragic, funny, sweet, unkind, passionate and possibly forever unfinished story between Prince and his first wife Mayte. If you’re a Mayte fan–read it. If you’re not….read it anyways. There’s nothing degrading or salacious about her gracefully telling their story. I found the book incredibly respectful, even during parts where our beloved Prince wasn’t on his best behavior. Such is life, and it was no secret that he was a…
