A review by ritamast
Just Kids by Patti Smith

4.0

“I heard his voice above the gulls, the childish laughter, and the roar of the waves.
Smile for me, patti, as i am smiling for you.”
I had no ideia who Patti smith was before reading this book and i’m glad i didn’t, because reading her and robert’s story really gave me something to think about when i hear “artists in new york”.
This was such a beautiful elegy to their relationship that i cried while reading the last 20 pages, as someone who looked up to the life of an artist in the 50’s in new york, this book was so important for me to read.
