Behind the Song:"Herstory repeats itself" is the closing track from Carbon Monoxide's (13.7 million monthly listeners) self-titled debut album (1983). According to the band, it is their most emotionally challenging song. "There is blood, sweat, and tears staining those lyrics," drummer Olivia Jack stated in a Rolling Stone interview. "We got together this one faithful night and reopened all our wounds. There was a special sense of community and belonging between us then. I can't do it justice with words. You need to have been there to understand. We shared everything - the worst of the worst - and, you can be damn sure, it made us stronger. I know that the song was not received overly well by some people, especially in the 80s, but this experience, this very night in itself, might just be the secret behind our success. The reason we are still around after 40 years of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll."

**** What is it about? ****
The band's success is based on the mutual trust that they have shared the worst of the worst. But what does that actually mean? There was this one night that changed everything. An attempt to inspire lyrics turned into a conversation that none of the band members will ever forget. Want to know what secrets were shared?
**** My impression ****
Even several days after finishing the story, my mouth is still open. The author has managed to depict so many strokes of fate, traumas and strengths in so few pages that I am left speechless. Emotionally charged and close to tears throughout, I let every single line sink in and gained the utmost respect for this kind of storytelling. Emotional, in the best way I can imagine, because these are moments that remain and create understanding for each other. A world between friends, family of choice and that which shapes. History repeats itself or can the Rat finally be broken? A question that remains with the reader at the end and thus lingers, works in you and motivates you to do better, to do things differently or simply to take your loved ones in your arms and remain without words for a moment. Excellently written, authentically told and interspersed with love, understanding and criticism in the details.
**** Recommendation? ****
A good book moves in its very own way, an excellent book creates moments that you can't forget, for whatever reason. A highlight, read it if you are mentally stable enough!

I had an idea on what the story was going to be about, but it took a different turn. The author manages to capture the wild, loose vibe of the 80s, while at the same time tackling intense and at times painful topics. We all carry some baggage, and this story is a reminder of the importance of having people around to share it with, people who care. Very good job by the author regarding the choice of words, the creative format and the experiences of the characters.
