Love everything about this book.
Published by Allison , 1 year ago
For anyone who adores Carly’s music and the music of JT and others coming into fame back then, this book is amazing!!!! I was riveted by the tunes and the story behind them, and especially the descriptions of life before fame and Carly’s relationship with JT.
Beautifully written memoir by a very talented artistic Carly Simon
