Perfect for those riding the 70s fictional rock roller coaster that is Daisy Jones and perfect for those who wanted to like Daisy but struggled with the interview format. But it's so much more than that! Ursa Major branches off in unexpected ways and ended most in a satisfying manner. I truly enjoyed this debut and look forward to her next book, whatever it may be.

Personally not a favorite of mine because it moved into the story super fast. Marketed as a romance story when that really isn't the main focus of the book and the romance seems forced and unrealistic. Would like to see the story lean into its historical context a bit more.

There is one graphic scene depicting the reversal of a drug overdose, including medicinal injections and the use of a stomach pump. Discussion of delusions as a result of schizophrenia. Several scenes take place in a mental health facility, where prescription pills are given. Period-typical scenes of smoking.
