This book is clearly for boring white girls who dream of home wrecking a famous persons life. If that’s you then yeah this books for you. Boring characters and plot and it goes nowhere it’s like a sad list of white people bullshit and facts.

“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?”

“Passion is...it's fire. And fire is great, man. But we're made of water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive.”

“It’s like some of us are chasing after our nightmares the way other people chase dreams.”

There were so many great quotable lines in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I would highly recommend listening to the audio. The full cast is absolutely excellent and it definitely added to the cinematic quality of the writing. This is my second novel by Reid (the first being The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) so I knew I really loved her writing but was thrown off by the format of this book. It was completely written in dialogue to make it feel like a documentary instead of a novel. I hear that Amazon is making it into a mini-series and I can't wait to see how they transfer it to the screen. It's like it's made for it. I absolutely loved how nuanced the characters were. It felt like they were real people. Sometimes I loved them, sometimes I hated them but they definitely felt real. The whole thing was just an incredibly immersive experience that made me feel so many things. I highly recommend.
