About this ebook
Mad Men meets Nashville in this debut mystery set in 1963, written by Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Cynthia Weil.
"I loved everything about I’m Glad I Did... Not just brava, Cynthia. Bravissima!!"
—Carole King, multi-Grammy winning singer-songwriter of Tapestry and author of the New York Times bestseller A Natural Woman
New York City, summer of 1963: JJ Green is a born songwriter—a major problem, since her family thinks the music business is a cesspool of lowlifes and hustlers. Defying them, she secretly takes an internship at the Brill Building, the epicenter of a new sound called rock and roll. When she finds a writing partner in Luke Silver, a boy with mesmerizing green eyes, JJ believes she is living her dream. They’ll even be cutting their first demo with legendary singer Dulcie Brown.
But soon JJ’s dream is shattered by tragedy, and she must navigate a web of troubled pasts, hidden identities, and tangled secrets—before it snares her, too.

It is a great book! I loved it! I would recommend this book to young teens! I loved how the book had a little bit of mystery, romance, and history. I really enjoyed how the book pulled you into it like as if you we in the story your self. I can honestly say that I liked the book so much that I didn't want to put it down.
