As an avid Beatle lover, I couldn't resist reading this book to see what it was like to have been married to a Beatle (George Harrison) at the height of their popularity, and then to leave him for one of his best friends, Eric Clapton. The excesses of the 60's come through loud and clear and it's a wonder any of them made it through. Patti Boyd comes across as incredibly naive (divorcing George Harrison for a mere 100,000 pounds after 10 years of marriage) but she really tells is like it was. If you're at all interested in the Beatles or Eric Clapton, I recommend this book. The narrative begins with her meeting George while filming A Hard Day's Night and continues her story through George's death, her divorce from Clapton, and the death of Clapton's son Connor.
