Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story.  Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.

This has to be one of the most honest books I’ve ever read. It’s beautiful, it’s real and it’s brutally honest. TJR is an amazing author, and truly has created a work of art with this one

The book is completely about addiction and substance abuse. If this is triggering, avoid it completely.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. Taylor Jenkins Reid has this way of story telling that makes me not even want to reach the end, because then that would mean I have to stop.
