Valentine is an acclaimed musician and songwriter known for being a part of the all-female rock group The Go-Go’s. She either wrote or co-wrote many of their most popular hit singles including “Head Over Heels” and “Vacation.” Aside from her musical endeavors, she is an actress, motivational speaker, spokesperson, and producer.
All I Ever Wanted is brutally honest, bold and unflinching. With its verisimilitude, it takes readers and fans back to the late ’70s and early ’80s. The Go-Go’s were an iconic rock group since they were the first multi-platinum-selling, all-female group to play their musical instruments themselves, as well as write their own tunes, and have a chart-topping album with their breakthrough studio offering Beauty and the Beat.
In 2017, she was responsible for creating “She Factory,” which raises money for women-centered nonprofit organizations. She lives in her hometown of Austin with her daughter.
Without giving too much away, this memoir reads to be experienced firsthand by all. The book is a whirlwind of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Valentine has enough drama in All I Ever Wanted, which can easily be enough material for a daytime drama or two.
