Big Girls Do Cry is the story that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons fans have been waiting for a look into the glitz and the glory that was the Jersey Boys' story as witnessed by one of the group's biggest fans.

In the tradition of scandalous tell-all's by rock groupie loyalty like Bebe Buell Pamela des Barres and Pattie Floyd comes a feisty and fun new voice: April Kirkwood. Our intrepid narrator is a sassy blonde Ohioan a fun-loving flirt with a love of music and Italian men. And she has one of the craziest stories in Four Seasons history.

An innocent childhood friendship with one of music's biggest stars led to a scandalous teenage romance which soon blossomed into a stormy off-and-on affair for the next few decades. Yet through thick and thin Kirkwood managed to find time to have a rollercoaster love life that you won't soon forget.
