Dawww, I love these two! Martin and Shirlie, and Simon and Yasmin Le Bon, are like celebrity relationship goals. This is their story of how they met, the ways they've grown and changed over thirty years of marriage, the many highs and the lows, and the secret to their success (I like Shirlie's advice of 'get a dog', so that you have an excuse to take a breather after an argument!) I'm such a fan, I even bought an autographed copy!

I bought Martin's biography True - twenty years ago! - gave my copy away and then bought another, which I still have, so I was already familiar with Martin's life and career, but enjoyed learning about Shirlie too, and in her own words (mostly - I think they had a ghost writer). Martin's memories of surviving brain surgery after having two tumours removed - which he hated being defined by, understandably - seem deeper and more detailed after the passing of time, however.

Starting and finishing with memories of George Michael, their good friend who set up Martin and Shirlie's first date, It's A Love Story does exactly what it says on the cover. Delightful. ( )
