This vibrant book illustrates the failures and fairytales ofthe musical couples that came together to give us hope about everlasting love.
Author Marisa Morea takes us through it all with her playful illustrations and wry storytelling style: from when Leonard Cohenmet Janis Joplin in the elevator of the Chelsea Hotel, to whenDebbie Harry laid eyes on Chris Stein in a crowd in 1974, to thepublic fights and passionate reconciliations of Serge Gainsbourgand Jane Birkin there are stories of drugs, drink, and brutalbetrayal, but also of true love and old-fashioned romance.
Travelling through all the feels, fixations, and heartbreaks thatco-wrote the golden eras of pop and rock music, we relive thebest of them with Ike and Tina Turner, Courtney Love and KurtCobain, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, June Carter and JohnnyCash, and so many more.
