I do love Heart's music. This book was interesting and I would recommend it to Heart fans. First off, the book would have been a lot shorter if Nancy Wilson would have stopped naming all the men who wanted her. It really got annoying. Secondly, the Wilson sisters are supposedly adored as leaders of female rockers - women who conquered a male dominated rock world. But in the book they themselves wrote, they came off as feeble minded dolts. They say they did not want to be sex symbols, they did not want to do videos, they did not want to record songs they didn't write, but they agreed to do all of it. It seems to me a strong female would have just said "No, I will not do that", put their foot down, and walked away. This apparently never occurred to the Wilson sisters. They did it all for the fame and fortune. It is sad that they receive so much credit for being strong female role models when they really do not deserve it. Read this book and see if you agree.
