found the book a little bit saccharine for me - yes i get it they're in love and that's great.

    I SO Enjoyed This
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 April 2022*

Oh my, I so enjoyed this book. I grew up alongside the Kemps and their respective music and loved those times. OK, the dedication had me howling, of course.....but although there was of course some sadness, most of it is uplifting, full of tremendous memories and an insight into one of THE most successful partnerships in "celeb-land". They've both always come across as lovely people and by dint of the fact that Noel Fitzpatrick penned the foreword we know that of course they're also doggy people, so really ? What's not to like ?Some things I hadn't known.....like Steve Strange being in a band with Chrissie Hynde, or that The Blitz Club only lasted a year. I thought it was around for a decade at least. It just goes to show the reach it had. I recall the hype around Wham! in China...but the experience sounds like the stuff of nightmares and wouldn't ever be a place I want to head to.I got a kick out of Martin's dream about the trophy and his encounters of the supernatural kind....fascinating stuff. Love what Shirlie said about George heralding Christmas for so many. For me, it was with December Song, which always made me sob BEFORE we lost him and the beautiful Last Christmas now always upsets me as well, of course, despite it being a huge favourite of mine nonetheless. It just wasn't 'right' that he died then....so unfair.I did spot a couple of mistakes that someone ought to have picked up to ensure it was perfect...this line gained a needless 'was'...."but I think that was this is what bonded us for life." Mike Leigh was mentioned but then as Mike Lee but a real howler was when Shirlie mentions her 2-year old self making the Wham! video....should've been 22 !It does tend to jump about a bit with timings and then skipped over a lot of years altogether. We never really spent much time with them as young parents at all or hear much about Martin's time at Eastenders, back when it was properly riveting watching. I see reviewers complaining that it's all a bit too lovey-dovey but the clue's in the title, folks. What did you expect to be reading about ? It was nice and these days it makes a really pleasant change to have some "niceness" in our lives. The fact people feel the need to complain about this tells us all we need to know about the state of the human race !!Interesting that Shirlie writes about her parents never telling their kids they love them. Mine never did, either. You just didn't in those times.I got a kick out of Martin still being the boy on the cover of a magazine for her, even now, and also her secret to a good marriage. I'm not married but think that's the best idea anyway.....everyone needs a dog in their life !! This passage I loved as well, "If your children are some of your favourite people to spend time with, you've done a great job." I think that is super and both their kids have grown into lovely people as well.Martin falling for Shirlie after seeing her on TOTP reminded me of David Beckham falling for Victoria after seeing her on that as well, though in a video. And they're another success story so they had some sort of Cupid knocking about somewhere !!I have really enjoyed my trip back in time with this book with two extremely likeable people indeed.And belated birthday greetings, Shirlie...I see you just had a milestone day......wow !! I can't believe that ! And loved the photos included, too.

    inciteful and entertaining
  

*by C***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 February 2023*

To be honest I never thought this book would have been of any interest to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the stories of how their lives and careers developed throughout the years.A relaxing easy read that gives you on the one hand,a glimpse inside their “fame bubble” and on the other , day to day life and the complexities along the way
