Wow, what a story! What an amazing life. So glad she shared.

A super enjoyable read for anyone who is a fan of the Beatles, the Stones, "Almost Famous", and 60s/70s rock music in general. Sweet, funny, juicy, and relatable.

this is an amazingly impressive story about a woman in the early rock and roll days who wasn't just a groupie but really a pioneer. plus it has good dirt on some great legends.

Kind of trashy but fascinating.

I really loved reading this. Chris has a great style of writing that made me feel like I was right there too. And I felt she was humble and honest about her thoughts and insecurities at the time. She is a very real person living an extraordinary life and shared it with us. I find the whole late 60s and early 70s time period fascinating. The book definitely delivers on that. She also had a way of really bringing to life the musicians and others in the book. It was very insightful and I wish the book didn't end and she had more stories. That is because I enjoyed the experience of reading it so much.

Started out well, with fascinating stories about working for the Beatles and Rolling Stones, but soon became tiresome and sometimes annoying at how the author came to expect the people she worked for and supposedly became friends with to take her in and let her live with them for free AND asking them for money. Then there were the drugs. I really tired of hearing how many lines of coke she snorted and with who. When she was drinking and snorting after she had a baby, I was really disgusted.

A must-read for any Beatles fan, but O'Dell also worked with the R%Tolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and other rock musicians.

Meh, some interesting stories but this reads like a 16 year old girl's diary

Finished reading it and returned it to the library. The very next day, found a copy at a thrift store. It's fate!

Love. this. So much.

Not only do I adore her casual way of telling a story, but the stories themselves fill me with so much envy that it's a little hard to breathe. It's not difficult to get pulled into the stories, and if you're as big a fan of the musicians she discusses as I am, you can see and hear what she saw and heard.

Her descent into addiction was hard to read, but still so perfectly done. I really, really enjoyed this.

And did I mention the jealousy? 'Cause WOW.
