i couldn't read whatever page was next during the last two (and a half, iykyk) sections without taking a tiny (or huge, depending on the said page) break to pull myself together and try to stop crying.

gosh i would love to write a novel like this one someday, to have an imagination as big as TJR's and come up with an 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 brilliantly detailed story like this book's.
i think this just confirmed me that historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and that i need to explore it much much 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 more.

DAISY JONES & THE SIX (the band) would not only be nothing without it's main singer daisy jones and it's keyboardist karen karen, but also without simone jackson, camilla dunne and her three daughters : julia, maria and susana.
sisterhood is a theme deeply important to me, so to read about all of those women changing each other's lives for better or worse, supporting each other and simply...impacting each other's lives one way or another, with one sentence or with an entire speech, moved me in the best way possible and reminded me how sacred and crucial female friendships are.

i'm so so sad but so so happy to have listened to the people who recommended this novel and now have turned into one of those people.
read this book, if not for goodness sake then for mine.
(and yes i read the extra emails TJR posted on insta....she had no right crushing my heart even more ferociously like that!)
