If you're a Carly Simon fan, this book provides insights into her life and lots of previously unknown (to me) events. That she lacked confidence and considered herself the homely little sister is incredible to me. There are also many photos of her throughout her life and career. Carly is a romantic and I found some sections where she gives detailed descriptions of clothes, smells, etc. a little tedious. Overall a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed!

I do not recommend this book. I found it offensive. Why the author would brag about so many horrible things is beyond me. She paints self as a promiscuous woman and her former husband, James Taylor, as a junkie. I really do not enjoy reading pages about somebody’s personal and psychological problems. I’m sorry I ever bought this book or read it.

A compelling bio and it brings the 70's to life as it was for the majority of us former hippies. I would definitely recommend it for anyone interested in some of the best music of the 60's and 70's and those interested in the people behind the music. It also provides an insider's view of the early (and wild) days of feminism.

Thank you Carly Simon for such a tastefully revealing honest read. You should write more more more! Fictional just to read more of your work please!’ Seriously a page turner and written so craftfully and artistically by an artist with a true gift. Thank you for this page turner!

Great find at a great price ! I'm reading this Carly Simon book again after listening to her audiobook. I recommend BOTH ! Fine writing, an exceptional accounting of Carly's early life and journey into the music world. Candid with plenty celebrity behind the scenes interactions, she describes her loves, connections with other musicians and her marriage to James Taylor. There are so many passages that read as poetic prose with enchanting rhythm that I stopped to re-read these to savor the telling in its rare richness. You'll find emotional content that's detailed about Carly's incredible journey in life as a smart, witty and highly intelligent songwriter/singer. Her descriptive voice in writing is refreshing as well as quite touching.
