Brett and Ruby diagnosed HIV positive

Addiction isn't polite, at the very worst it's feral and in more covert form, slightly corrosive. Every day of Johnny's life was a sheer act of will.

Brett's trail of rehab-relapse-rehab-relapse just goes on and on... Meanwhile poor old Nina discovers that Justin is a bigamist.

Brett and Andrew Loog Oldham call it quits. Nina goes to art college in Liverpool. This book is wonderfully well written, and really absorbing.

London welcomes American sensation Brett Smiley... the neon message going round London's Post Office Tower just before Brett's single is released.

Quite glad Nina's a teenager and so more out if her horrible mother's orbit.

When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love, L.U.V!

Brett meets Andrew Loog Oldham

Nina describes her distant, unempathetic mother; and Brett's early years playing Oliver, before moving to Queens, and finally getting an electric guitar and forming a high school band.
