  May Pang va ser secretaria, novia, i amant de Lennon. Aquest llibre, que no passarà a la historia per ser cap gran obra literària, és en canvi, un llibre de memòries de gran interès per mitòmans i fans del Beatle assassinat. Unes memòries que es concentren en el període conegut com "the lost week-end", que és en realitat un dels períodes de mes creativitat del John Lennon post Beatles (Walls and Bridges, Rock and Roll, col·laboracions amb Spector, Elton John, David Bowie, etc...), a banda de ser una època en que els excessos de tota mena eren més que habituals i salvatges. Un llibre ple d'anècdotes i curiositats, i que mostra un Lennon insegur, poruc, envejós, poc madur i absolutament dominat i controlat per Yoko Ono.

  May Pang worked for John Lennon and Yoko Ono during the 1970s. She was encouraged by Yoko to travel with Lennon to California while Ono and Lennon separated. She was essentially told by Yoko to become Lennon's mistress. Pang resisted at first but eventually fell in love with Lennon. Pang portrays Lennon as a child-like, anxious, sensitive and dependent man who was manipulated by puppetmaster Yoko. Obviously a subjective work, Pang reinforces the disdainful view most of the public has taken toward Yoko Ono. According to Pang, her affair with Lennon lasted from the early 70s until shortly before December 8, 1980, the day Lennon was murdered. This memoir is a fascinating look inside the private life of a rock legend.
