My Chemical Romance is the most significant band in alternative rock in the last decade. Inspirational, original, and stunningly creative, they forged an extraordinary connection with their fans. Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance is their definitive biography. Author Tom Bryant has been given unparalleled access to the band over the years, and now he draws on interviews with Gerard Way, his brother Mikey, Ray Toro, and Frank Iero, as well as friends and associates, to bring their stories to life. In this unauthorized biography, he takes us behind the scenes from their very first show in front of thirty kids in New Jersey-the Ways downing beer to calm their nerves-to international arena-storming superstardom. He sheds light on the personal demons the bandmates battled and the haunted recording sessions that resulted in the brilliance of The Black Parade. He also explores the genesis of their music, the constant reinvention that culminated in the visual splendor of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and the strains that led to their split in 2013. Insightful and revealing, Not the Life It Seems presents one of the most adored rock bands of this century, their story an epic saga of self-belief and the pursuit of dreams.Binding Type: Paperback

Amazing was always!
Format: Kindle
Frieda had been my favorite author since I started reading again last year. I've read every book and they've all been amazing, this one is no exception. I was hooked immediately! She's really good at grabbing you within the first chapter lol.
So many plot twists and the ending was phenomena! I see she has another book releasing this year and I am so excited!

Another brilliant read!
Format: Kindle
I absolutely loved this book and read it in a day. The second POV towards the end of the book with Ronnie’s chapters was a refreshing change and enables the reader to understand little Teddy’s backstory. A tough beginning for sure.
I loved the high stakes throughout the book, the twists and, as always, the surprising turn of events at the end.
There were a few things I wasn’t sure about. Would Naomi have gone to the birthday party and done what she did with so much to risk? As a mother, I’m not sure it made sense and somehow it frustrated me a little. I won’t go into specifics but the hair cutting was sooo triggering!
I thought Teddy’s secret code was a clever addition to the story and ramped up the pace at the end. Really scary and I thought they’d never make it.
I think with a little more development and detail this book would have been a clear 5 star winner for me. It was almost over too soon. But I loved the premise. As a result, I gave it 4.4 stars.
It was a quick and fun read, as all Freida’s books are. She definitely is an auto-buy author. I’m obsessed!
