This has been a book worth waiting for.

One of the first true rock and roll wives has held onto her story until now, and finally gives us a glimpse into the magic and mayhem of surviving the 60’s, rock & roll and extraordinary marriages.

Being a Beatle nerd, I knew the basics before reading Wonderful Today by Pattie Boyd. I knew she was a model who met and married George Harrison (he of Beatle fame), and consequentially fell for and married his friend Eric Clapton. Somehow she survived the Beatlemania, Clapton’s addiction problems and came out the other end. Much has been made of this story, however not a lot has been told from her point of view. Wonderful Today focuses on that. Boyd is given a chance to voice her experiences and manages to keep the dirt and tabloid style gossip out of her recollections. It would be easy to do an expose on behind the scenes details, and dramatise her divorces and nervous breakdown, but all is kept on a sensible and classy level- much respect for that.

This book is a great collection of memories and experiences. It makes for great reading through the highs and lows, and finishes on a heartwarming note.
