Boys in the Trees: A Memoir by Carly Simon

5.0

Maybe I am biased as I am a big Carly Simon fan, and her music was so much a part of my life during my teens and still can transport me back to various moments and emotions in my life when I hear a particular song.....I loved this book and plan to read it again at some point. As a memoir it covered much of what I wanted, her life from childhood, her family relationships, her analysis of various moments of her life, her song writing, her relationships, her beautiful music, her emotions. It was so beautiful to read of a moment in time which could then be linked to a lyric, so much so I would hear the song in my head as I read. That often lead to tears, but then I get emotional over music, reading, art. Her writing was very good, as you would expect, she shared her experiences openly and honestly. Well worth the read.
