Together they embarked on a tour that brought them stimulating highs and shattering lows, and they prospered and suffered in one another&#8217;s arms. The two men carried each other and carried a group that created both a history and a future for rock. But at some point their music blurred with the news of their love and the world was faced with the choice to embrace its heroes or revert back to its deep-rooted prejudices.<\/p>\n<p>My rating: 4 out of 5<\/p>\n<p>Based on the Beatles, I found this a very interesting &#8220;What if&#8230;&#8221; Wonderfully written, fairly short, and the edition I read had some pen-drawn illustrations.<\/p>\n<p>A quick-read, it&#8217;s one of those books that everyone should read once. If you like the Beatles anyway, and really wish that John and Paul could be more than friends. Though this isn&#8217;t the Beatles, of course, this is Seth and Payton. Two guys that just seem very familiar.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t like m\/m, then this is not for you.
