I am not usually a fan of autobiographies, but this is a fun read. I got to meet Bill Roorbach and have heard him tell stories about Juliet that didn't make it into the book. The book is a wonderful portrayal of how that one special person gets in your life and just toys with your emotions - that one person that you love despite yourself. I read this book in just a couple of days. It's quick and definitely worth the time.
