The beautiful and unique relationship shared between Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe needed to be documented for posterity. I'm so glad Patti Smith made it happen. I love reading about the various New York scenes in the 70s and 80s and the people who made those scenes happen, so fascinating and entertaining and Patti wrote about them so honestly and evenhandedly that it was a joy to read. Now I see why everybody loved this book.

This was a very pleasant surprise. I've never been a Patti Smith fan, but picked up the $1.99 Kindle deal after a friend recommended the book. So glad I did. It's a beautiful story of a wonderful, lifelong friendship, and beautifully written. I will now actively seek out more of her work.

I couldn't put this down. I read it once, then immediately again and have given it as a gift to my favorite friends. It's beautiful, thoughtful, thought provoking and lovely, a great homage to true love and friendship.
