About the Author
Marisa Jackson has stayed friends with A.J. since their break up. "I'm glad the Boys are doing so well -- I knew they would from that first day in the studio," she says. With their Millenium album selling five million copies since its release in June, the Backstreet Boys are a true phenomenon.

So is there life after Backstreet? "You bet there is," says Marisa. She has followed in her family's footsteps, and is now managing and developing new recording artists in Orlando. She wanted to write this book so that other girls would know what it was really like to date a Backstreet Boy. "There are so many girls out there in love with the Boys," she says. "I was one of the lucky ones who was loved back."

Customer Reviews

AJ Book Better Left To Dream
It was'nt at all that I expected by any account. Although it was a nice memoir and showcased A.J. in a most sweet & sincere light, it left much to be desired. The book is very thin, with little insight into the real trials & tribulations of being a "Backstreet Girl". But on the bright side, it was'nt a sleezy tell-all like some thought that it would be. But the pics are nice (of course anything with A.J. is nice!:) My final comments: ONLY DIE-HARD A.J. FANATICS would consider this one a keeper.

It's so sad...
Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way...I would never read this book, let alone give money to this Marisa person by endorsing it. I think it's dishonest and deceitful for someone to capitalize on an ex's success. If Alex won't endorse her book, why should I? BSB forever!

Good Pictures; Very Little Said
I don't think you could really call this a book--it's more like a scrapbook or photo album. I learned perhaps 2 things about AJ that I hadn't heard before. It is definitely NOT the tell-all book it has been hyped to be--which is probably a good thing. The pictures are great--obviously mostly from her personal collection, as there are pics of Backstreet Boys sleeping, and at family celebrations. Very precious and priceless picture of Brian and Nick in younger years sound asleep on a couch. There is one picture of AJ in the bathtub--not too revealing--thank goodness. All in all, not a big price to pay for some really great pictures, but not much of anything else.
