shaynarcohen 's review for:
Just Kids
by Patti Smith
dark
hopeful
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Didn't know anything about Patti, Robert, or a lot of the people in their circle, but I know how popular and influential this memoir is and I wanted to learn a bit of NYC history at the same time.
Put it down for a bit to read the long book I had borrowed from the library but as soon as I picked it back up I could not put it down.
Her writing is so poetic, and I found it to be as moving and gripping as fiction given how little I knew about the main characters, with Patti and Robert's relationship being the crux around which the plot moved.
In addition to satiating my desire for a bit of city history, I also learned a lot about art and music idols who I had only ever a base level knowledge of.
