The missing link between free jazz and punk rock, the MC5 toured the country, played alongside music legends, and had a rabid following, their music acting as the soundtrack to the blossoming blue collar youth movement.

'Voyeuristically dramatic.'-THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW The first memoir by Wayne Kramer, legendary guitarist and cofounder of quintessential Detroit proto-punk legends The MC5 ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s kinda funny to me because this book is two years old so most of you have probably read it but still!įrom the beginning, I was skeptical with Katie because if you read as many books as I do, you question any character who believes in “only living once” or “live life to the fullest”. Happy ending or not…Before I continue, I would like to point out that this is NOT spoiler free. My best friend recommended it to me and knowing how alike our tastes in books are, I knew I was going to love It. I went into reading this book knowing that it was going to be deep. So when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with Keller Banks. Kate is strong-willed, funny, smart, and musically gifted. She’s endured hardship and tragedy, but throughout it all she remains happy and optimistic (there’s a reason her best friend Gus calls her Bright Side). Kate Sedgwick’s life has been anything but typical. ![]() ![]() ![]() and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior. Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore.

Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around, trying to help. Then she hits him with her car- supposedly by accident. So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. The bed and breakfast owner’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he expects nothing less than perfection. ![]() It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself-even though she's not entirely sure how… But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding ( someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong.

This is a sad ‘carpe diem’ tale for the real world – an enduring story, one without the cheesy Disney ending. In One Day, which on the surface is a ‘will they, won’t they’ story, David Nicholls has a created a wonderful and haunting exploration of the themes of love and friendship, self-doubt and frustration, regret and loss. “Isn’t Naomi waiting for you somewhere, her little mouth crammed full of drugs like a little druggy hamster?” Love and friendship The banter between Emma and Dexter is exquisite and often laugh out loud funny – wit and sarcasm at its very best. These characters feel so alive to the reader and are so genuine and endearing because Nicholls displays a real understanding of the difference between what people say and what they mean. How can one not feel a connection to these characters when they think the same things we have all thought? How can one not feel empathy for these hapless individuals when we have all made similar mistakes in our own lives? Nicholls forces us to fall in love with his lead characters, Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, as we check in with them each year on the anniversary of their first liaison. ![]() Has a novel ever made you laugh and want to cry at the same time?
