If you enjoyed “Daisy Jones and The Six,” you must have read Miss Pamela’s “I’m with the Band.” If you didn’t, you should.

Thoroughly, thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed Craving Normal! What an entertaining read!
As she recounts colorful stories from child to adulthood, spanning from the Bay Area, to Greece, Morocco, France, L.A., and everywhere in between, I could almost picture author Michele Miles Gardiner extending a hand out to me and saying, “Come with me! You won’t believe this!”
Your dad put a suicidal Santa on your roof?! You stood up a 13-year-old Rob Lowe?! You were scammed by members of a VERY FAMOUS band before they were famous?! It’s just too good!
Each chapter highlights a new adventure, some that might make you cry, some that might make you think, but MOST that will make you laugh. It’s as “comfort food” as a read as they come!
I’m thinking we need a “Craving Normal: Volume 2,” Michele! I’d buy it!
Craving Normal is available on Amazon, Skylight Books in Los Angeles, and Green Apple Books on Clement in San Francisco.
