There are quite a few Christine weaved throughout the book, and a lot of references to Dennis Wilson, as Sara Fleetwood, Carol Ann Harris and Dennis hung out together since they weren't "in" the band. I'll include one part, that I thought was very funny:

Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac by Carol Ann Harris (2007, Introduction, XI):


John McVie was the straight-faced, badly dressed joker, with a brilliantly dry wit, never sober, the big, crazy brother you never had, while Christine could out-drink any man but had never learned to do girly things or dress up like a homecoming queen. Once, driving to a band photo shoot with Richard Avedon, one of the world's most famous photographers, she was pulled over by the NYPD, who suspected they'd seen her snorting coke as she drove. Fortunately she snorted the entire stash, so there was no proof. But to her humiliation and fury she'd been strip-searched while wearing the large graying pair of knickers we all keep in the bottom of our lingerie drawer. "I was saving my new pink silk ones for the shoot!" she screamed at us all, still raging, when she arrived. "I was wearing my usuals!"

"Oh my God, Chris, not the cotton English granny knickers?" Stevie gasped. Big knickers weren't Stevie's style. From a wealthy family, she'd grown up in silk.

Christine nodded and burst into tears.

John Courage leapt to his feet, shaking his fist. "I'll have their badges!" he promised.

John Courage to the rescue. Some of this stuff is a real hoot. Some of the book is disturbing. There is a bit from Dennis Wilson's Charlie Manson time. So yes, there are references to Christine throughout the book, but it's not focused on Christine per se. There's funny references to all the members of the band from time to time.
