5.0

How does someone even begin to try sum up this book? It’s toxic, raw, emotional, intense and just so. damn. powerful. The interview writing style is rare in itself, but the way the story is told through so many people, giving you every side to every scene is ridiculously clever.

I loved to hate Daisy and hated to love Billy. Their characters were complex, and their relationship even more so, but it drew me in right from the beginning. The topics that are dealt with throughout the story are super heavy, but TJR has this way of bringing really inspiring and hopeful moments into the darkest of scenes that leave you absolutely wrecked, but also sort of grateful? 

There are so many layers to this book I could talk about, but I feel like it’s going to take me a week just to unpack everything I’m feeling right now. I’m looking forward to rereading this again knowing everything I know now - it’s one of those books that you just know will give you an entirely different experience second time round and I can’t wait for that.

One part that has stuck with me is from Billy: 

“I’m saying that when you really love someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for.”
