Reviews
'Anna's fan's eye book on pop is ace.'Bob Stanley
'I love this book! Anna managed to transport me back in time to a fast-moving and exciting time in the '90s, all of it was so new for Saint Etienne. It was properly bonkers! Travelling to exotic locations, meeting new people with similar goals and interests, glamour, a little bit of hedonism and feather boas (for me and Nicky Wire). I treasure all of those experiences and Anna was a big part of it.'Sarah Cracknell, Saint Etienne
'A gentle, tender journey through the flotsam and jetsam of the 1990s, by a writer who touchingly shows us how music has the power to change everything.'Jude Rogers
'A poignant and wonderfully warm coming-of-age story about the life-changing power of music. Anna has deftly put into words what it was - and is - to be a teenager. Connection is a Song smells like teen spirit.'Cathy Newman, journalist and presenter, Channel 4 News
