sobbing. how am I supposed to get over this?
I'm convinced tjr can't write a bad book.
I didn't think I'd be able to connect with the story at first because of the way it is written (interview format) but I am surprised by how emotionally connected I was to the story. I think that tjr has always done a really great job at taking very real, very relatable emotions and building these complex characters with so many layers that, despite it all, you can't help but root for and mixing all of that together to create such masterpieces. I thought this book might get a bit repetitive or may be similar to the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, given that they're both about fictional famous people finally going on the record about their life, but it was a completely different experience and I'm so glad.
can't wait to go and listen to all the songs from Aurora now. love how much hardwork and dedication tjr put into creating the album as well.
gut wrenching book, def would recommend.
