Most of the other books I've 5 starred have deeply resonated with a part of me, but I've never read a book where I felt like the author and I were on the exact same page on so many topics. So so many times reading this I thought, "My god I didn't think anyone else would have these exact same feelings!!" It's funny because the author and I are very different and have had wildly different experiences in life, but I also share such similar feelings about falling in love, romantic relationships, childrearing, etc. with her. It feels like looking into a mirror, but also like looking into my future. I cried lots while reading this book and I would really love to buy a copy and annotate it sometime!!
(BTW, if you are thinking about reading this book but don't know much about Joni Mitchell, this book will still be very enjoyable. I don't think I've listened to any Joni Mitchell songs but the way that Amy Key writes about how she feels towards Mitchell's work was more than enough to make me feel invested.)
