CW: because this book is based on the late 60s early 70s there lots of discussion of drug/alcohol abuse.
I honestly think TJR did a marvelous job bringing to light the over glamorization of these struggles during this time period while not making it very glamorous for the characters.
The format of the book was a bit different and took a minute to get used to but I honestly loved it. I just felt like I was reading a transcript from an actual interview (I know that was kinda the point)
Highly recommend this book!
