OMG! I feel like I just took a Time Machine back to the early 1990’s. Let me set the scene for you- I am sitting in my room with my NKOTB posters adorning my walls, I have my NKOTB bedding, my NKOTB dolls are all set out and I am reading Tiger Beat while wearing my NKOTB nightgown. I was obsessed. This book brought me back to my days as a 10 year old obsessed with New Kids on the Block and Joey (Swoon).

This book was fun to read and learn some of the backstories I didn’t know about as a young girl.
While it was total nostalgia, I also learned some fun facts and like how it spanned their early careers as well as where they are now.

Things I really liked about this book:
* the pictures
* how it was sectioned
* the index (to look up specific things)
* timeline
* discography
And so much more!

If you were a NKOTB fan then this book is for you!

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for letting me voluntarily read this book and give an honest review.

This was so fun! It took me right back to being 12 years old, listening to Hangin Tough and kissing my Donnie posters! The pictures are gorgeous and the nostalgic, teen magazine feel was so fun! A must for any Blockhead!!

A must have for any New Kids on the Block fan.
Gorgeous, full page, full color pictures and great pictures throughout. Thorough history of the band from where they started up to the current tours. Loved being able to read about and see pictures from the past 40 years, hard to believe that it's been that long since I fell in love with "Please Don't Go Girl".
Will highly recommend in all my NKOTB groups.

Long time lover of NKOTB. I knew I'd like this and immediately snatched it up. I liked all of the pictures spread throughout the book, some of which I haven't seen before (and I used to have a TON of pictures). The way certain subjects were handled were well-written and kind. Overall, a great look at the boy band that guided my teen years and beyond.

For anyone who grew up listening to NKOTB, this is a fun trip down memory lane. Now I feel old!
It's a great overview of their rise to fame and all the fun that went with that.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for access to this e-ARC.

Wow just in time for my friends 40th Birthday. We were both massive fans age 4 and 5 we had all posters and the dolls. My poor Dad ended up having to take us to the concert twice as I so excited the first night I was super sick with excitement. I felt the same reading this books full of 80/90's nostalgia and good memories charting the rise of the first bit and to capture my heart. Cool art with a 80/90's theme and brilliant pictures.
