This is my fourth TJR book so i was expecting amazing things and a big finale, but I didn’t get that. It was still a very well written book but it felt kind of flat and I’m a bit confused as to why this is rated higher than SHOEH. The little twist at the end that the author was julia, wasn’t too shocking. i was also surprised that TJR would use the same sort of twist here as in another book of hers . It was interesting, I really liked and connected with Karen. A lot of lines in here were very touching and framed concepts in ways i hadn’t seen them before. But it’s not my favourite book. it does give a (what i believe is a thoroughly researched) insight into the drugs and sex’s and rock and roll culture in the 70’s, and the differing perspectives of the same events.
