I liked this. I can see why people compare it to daisy jones and the six but this has much heavier topics.

I wanted to punch nev in his face!! Opal handled everything with such grace even when she was “raging”. Oh yeah howie deserves a punch too and the bond brothers. I did not see the turn coming with Nev and then for him to continue being a piece of shit was just infuriating. I don’t love how it just ended but I get it, it’s a more realistic story than daisy jones so you can’t have a pretty romantic ending. The editors notes portions were interesting but I personally hated the font, I know that’s silly but it was hard to read. The racial topics in this are so god damn hard to stomach, and I think Walton wrote those details respectfully and beautifully
