I finished this book last night.
Entertaining read and boy, did it give me a whole different perspective on the videos I craved and loved in my late teen's/early 20's. I must be naive but it breaks my heart that the 'streets have no name' video was staged.

I haven't read it since I edited her first draft. Our daughters were best friends for years
