Some surface level stuff aside, I think this book is really well written and the use of Broadway as an allegory of “living in the moment” even when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected them to, is kind of beautiful. I feel like I took a lot of great conversions out of this book and most of the time was so captivated by the characters chaotic journey to self acceptance. I hate Ethan for being so talented.

ethan hawke’s view on art as a necessity to life really shines through here. i love the way his mind works and this raw and vulnerable book offered so much wisdom on identity, shame, guilt, love and art.

Nothing really happens, but I quite enjoyed the character study of William. He is so flawed, but somehow inspiring. I wasn’t really hooked, I did enjoy the read.
