Really enjoyable read! I feel like it’s just a jumping off point for all the content that’s been created around this story, I definitely want to watch the show and hear the music. I found camellia to be the most compelling character. Her choices were so different from what I’ve come to expect or root for from a feministic perspective, but I found I was surprised with the power she held and manifested despite taking a road less championed. I found her very unique and inspiring in a different kind of way. She knew what she wanted and she fought for it.
I loved the insight on the “author” at the end and understanding some of those tones in an underlying love letter to her mother.
The rest didn’t fall too far from a typical rock n roll story, but I enjoyed being along for that ride. Again, just appreciate what this author does in taking these chunks of history and building these fictional stories around the overarching eras. I mostly liked how all the different characters and voices came together to tell this story in an interview format, but also found that a bit confusing and convoluted at times.
