Goodreads (4.4):
"Brilliant! Leslie’s deeply researched part biography, part musical critique is emotional and deeply immersive: I felt like I was living John and Paul’s experiences and I found myself enraptured by their dynamic relationship. ... I’d say they are soulmates– connected on a very deep level. ... I can assure you – this is a fascinating and absorbing read for music lovers, history buffs, and people interested in pop-culture as well."
“A love story is accurate in several ways. John and Paul seem to be enraptured with each other. But this is also a love story about anyone who connected with The Beatles; their music, their movement, their songwriting process."
As always, a light dinner will be served. Please feel free to bring appetizers, salad, dessert to share if you wish.
