“…loving somebody isn’t perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in awhile, it’s a gut punch. That’s why it’s a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. You have to be with somebody who deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else’s. It’s sacred.”
This one threw me a bit of a curveball with its interview-style narrative, which initially had me unsure. The interviewer's silence and the constant jumping around between characters threw me off, creating an emotional distance, but as the story unfolded, it surprisingly grew on me.
Despite the unique writing style, I ended up enjoying the book. It even sparked my interest in Fleetwood Mac, rumored to be the inspiration behind the tale, leading me to delve into their story.
True to Taylor Jenkins Reid's style, there's a little twist at the end that adds that extra punch. Overall, it's a journey worth taking, even if the road starts a bit bumpy.
