Boys in the Trees by Carly Simon Book Summary

A Star-Studded Memoir Illuminating the Life and Career of Carly Simon

Dive headfirst into Boys in the Trees, a compelling memoir by rock icon Carly Simon. This thought-provoking biography pulls back the curtain on a life of glamor, heartache, and sublime musical creation. Bursting with vibrant accounts of her musical beginnings, the trajectory of a career decorated with smash hits, and intimate behind-the-scenes dramas, Boys in the Trees seamlessly blends the private and public facades of an unforgettable cultural figure.

From her childhood as the daughter of publishing giant Richard L. Simon to her emergence as a top-charting singer, Simon's storytelling is as complex and captivating as her lyrics. She paints a vivid picture of the folk music scene she and her sister thrived in during the '70s, as well as her meteoric rise as a solo artist—an artistic journey punctuated by top 40 hits including the unforgettable "You're So Vain."

This enthralling account isn’t without tumult and tragedy, reflecting Simon's openness to showcasing life’s highs and lows in her own confessional style—a journey of romantic liaisons with iconic figures and the dissolution of her fairy-tale union with James Taylor. Take a deep dive into the creation processes behind iconic numbers like "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets," channeling the electricity of creative inspiration coursing through them.

Whether you're a lover of pop-rock history, looking for a compelling memoir that sizzles with real-life drama, or simply a Carly Simon fan, Boys in the Trees promises a candid, engaging, and real journey through the life of a female feminist music icon.

Well written and a page turner. FUN read, and well written with plenty of everything. Full of information that goes way beyond who ”you’re so vain” is about…This woman is amazing really. The people who came across her path is astounding.

Very Real. I enjoyed this book so much, even though "sometimes I wish that I never knew some of the secrets of yours." I found myself hoping that in the end Carly and James got back together and true love prevailed, even though I knew that didn't happen. It's a page turner, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of hers.

BOY IN THE TREES REVIEW.... Although I have followed you and James for many years, I feel this memoir was a true acknowledgement of your true love for James . I am sure there are fans better then myself, but feel I am right up there. Meeting James in person in Fort Myers, (winter hang out), stopping into your store at Vinyard Haven that you and your friend, own and purchasing your Children's book for me nieces kid. This trip was made by myself and my Boston Terrier, Flyod, in 2016. I rode the shuttle bus around the island, and met your drummers son. How cool was that? My wife laughed how I spent this weekend, while she was have a three week vacations with her friends in Fort Myers. Heading back on the ferry to Harwich port, I think I based you getting off the ferry. That would have been neat to say hi.hope you get this review, I truly loved Boys in the Trees. Fan for ever: Jim Tanner🌹 .

Pity her. Only halfway through this book and all I can feel is pity for someone with such a terrible childhood who seems to have searched her whole life for some kind of validation. Was there no one she met who she didn't sleep with? How lucky she was to not have contracted HIV or some other STD. And what a terrible role model for young teens. One can only hope that as she ages she develops some self worth.

A special book full of delight. I just spent the holiday weekend curled up with this wonderful book! It's perfect! Delightful, interesting, poignant, intimate, beautifully written. I felt like I was lounging in a sunny Stanford White apartment in New York in the 1970s eavesdropping on music history. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome Memoir!. Being born during the time that Carly Simon and all of these other great musicians were around it was amazing reading her story. It gave me new appreciation for her music.

Gutsy, Honest Memoir. If Carly Simon and James Taylor were the background music of your life in the 1970s, you will find this book quite riveting. I found it difficult to turn off the light each night. Simon writes beautifully and isn't afraid to "let it all hang out." Her description of the first night she slept with Taylor was as good as any D.H. Lawrence novel; I had to re-read the passage several times.

Boys in the Trees. I really enjoyed and appreciated Carly Simon's writing. She's an interesting girl with a deep mind and a tender loving heart... I only wished she could love herself as much as she loved the others.

Boys in trees. Boring boring boring.

Boys In Trees by Carly Simon. What a great book!!! I read the book in 3 days and could not get enough of it. There are more people who suffer from depression than you realize and it is OKAY. Carly and James are my favorite singer/poet of songs that I adore. Thank you, it is a must for people to read.

Interesting Read. Loved everything about Ms. Simons book except the end. I wish she would have taken through where she is today. Maybe a book two? If not for that I would have offered another star. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years! You are a true diamond.

Boys in the Trees. Brilliantly written, poignant, a definite must read for even the slightest fan.

Very well written. I couldn't put it down. I really loved this book. It was very well written and I found myself running late for appointments because I was unable to put it down. Very insightful look into live, depression and anxiety. I've always felt envious of the life of the King and Queen of 70s Rock and empathize with the demons they struggle with, the same ones mNy if us do. I guess not many are spared. I hope there is a follow up book that covers the time period after James Taylor to present. There is something fascinating about Carly Simon. She gives me strength.
