In this candid autobiography, Cherie Currie—the original lead singer of ‘70s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways—powerfully recounts her years in the band, her friendship with guitarist Joan Jett, and her struggle with drugs. An intense, behind-the-scenes look at rock music in the gritty, post-glam era, Neon Angel is a must-read for anyone whose heart beats to the rhythm of David Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Nick Gilder, and the Sex Pistols, and for every fan of the movie it inspired: The Runaways, starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as Cherie Currie and Joan Jett.

Ornery Owl's Mini Review
Cherie has lived several lifetimes in one. She is an amazing person whose story is both inspirational and a cautionary tale for any young woman with stars in her eyes. I applaud her for telling her bare-bones truth, warts and all.
Book Beginnings and First Line Friday
Can’t stay at home, can’t stay at school
Old folks say, “You poor little fool”
Down the street I’m the girl next door
I’m the fox you’ve been waiting for
The Friday 56
I didn’t get much sympathy from the people around me. Kent Smythe’s solution was to put a bucket at the side of the stage in case I had to puke while performing.
