Over the next 10 years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO’s, a girl group masterminded by Frank Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music.

With a flower name like Nymphaea, it’s just kismet that I would find this book. That, and I love rock and roll history. I picked this book up because it was recommended to me as a rock story to read. It’s certainly something.

The writing is unique in that it’s not a writer’s book. It’s written in a very friend-to-friend style. Like you’re talking to a friend and getting the juicy gossip. There are little bits about a lot of people in the music business, but this isn’t a nasty tell-all. It’s honestly not. Are all the stories real? I don’t know. But at least the author doesn’t trash anyone while she’s writing about them. It’s like she’s telling me about her friends and her life. I guess that’s what I liked about this book the most. It feels real.

If you’re looking for something salacious, then this might not be what you want, but if you’re interested in a book about rock and roll with a person who is a survivor, then this might be the one for you. Check it out!
