Boys In the Trees is the autobiography of legendary American singer-songwriter Carly Simon. In this book she talks about her bringing in New York in the Bronx, secrets of sexual impropriety, her family torn apart due to business dealings as well as shifting allegiances, getting into music which she started performing with the Simon Sisters as well as going to a successful solo career which included her big hit You're so Vain, her marriage to singer-songwriter James Taylor which lasted 11 years and having 2 children and many others. It is an FANTASTIC and an BRILLIANT book with great stories and I enjoyed reading it. This is a must for fans of the 70's music as well as Carly Simon fans and this 4 and half stars which it's in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
