Oh, honey, I can wait,
To call that home,
I can wait for the blooms and the honeycomb
I enjoyed this book so much. I'm sure the interview-style of writing might be a turn off for some, but for me it was like crack. It was so easy to read and understand; I could perfectly picture the documentary in my head as I was reading. It only took me two days and I was invested the whole way through. The characters felt so real, and I loved how everyone remembered things differently for their own reasons. (Taylor Jenkins Reid just has a way of making characters that jump off the page). I loved how they would jump back and forth between quotes from different people and how the author painted a scene just by doing that. Beautiful stuff. Everything about this book was a vibe and I was vibing.
I like some characters more than others, but that's to be expected given that they were rockstars in the 70s. I think Camila was my favorite, though. I am so excited to watch the TV show!
