Just Kids by Patti Smith

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

just kids is bleeding with love in every page. there's a deep affection that runs through it, a love undefinable and unending. reading this restores a hope in humanity, the artistic new york scene is filled with people who are kind, loving and imaginative. through all of patti and Robert's struggles, not only did they have each other but also this entire community that was brimming with so much love. even with all the grief, the book is a celebration. in fact, the grief itself is a celebration too, of Robert's life and his art. patti smith does not see death as an ending, but simply as something transformative. and i hope with all my heart that she is right.
