you know when she had me? when i knew that song was fucking great? when she said, "when you think of me, i hope it ruins rock 'n' roll."

hey!! hope you're doing well!!

i know you're reading funny story right now (ahhh) and probably have a long tbr so there's no pressure to read this but i just read the ex vows by jessica joyce and i think you might like it!!!

it reminded me a lot of happy place in that it focused on a found family of friends and how they changed over the years, and it was a second chance romance, and there's a wedding they're prepping for, but it also felt completely like its own new and different thing! i think it's one of the best non-emily henry romances i've ever read and it's the kind of romance that emily henry writes, where it's more emotional and focuses a lot on the character journey.

anyways, since happy place is your favorite emily henry i thought i'd let you know about it!!

Hii! I'm doing good! Thank you so much for the recommendation, I always struggle a lot finding new books to read. I've got a couple of books I'd like to read first, but it sounds so good, I'm so excited!! I just loved the whole vibe of Happy Place, and I love reading about found families, so I'll add it to my tbr.

I'm almost done with Funny Story and on the one hand I can't wait to finish it and tell you about it, but I also never want it to end!

Also I forgot to tell you I finally finished Daisy Jones & The Six!! It's the book that's taken me the longest to read, which is weird cause it's so good! I guess I was really busy but anyways. I loved the format so much, it's so unique, and it also makes it so easy to read! I have a really short attention span, so a book that's basically all dialogue is perfect for me. Some spoilers ahead!

The characters were so funny to me. I went in thinking it was gonna be a found family but then it turns out they all kind of hate each other. They're all so unique and fun to read about. Camila and Karen are so cool, and Warren's the comedic relief, and Pete's just some guy, and Billy's insufferable, and Daisy's also kind of insufferable, but I still loved her. I've seen a lot of people hating on Eddie, and I genuinely don't understand it?? Yes he had a short fuse, but also yes he was justified (at least in my opinion. I hated how Billy kept screwing him over).

I also loved the "where are they now bit", because here I am thinking Pete is dead throughout the whole book, and then it turns out he just had no interest in being part of the interview (which is very cool of him, I too would try to forget about my incredibly dysfunctional found family). The Julia plot twist was so cool, and I couldn't believe Camila was dead all along! I loved her so much. It was so satisfying seeing what their lives look like today, and every ending was very fitting for each character too.

Also loved reading about Karen and Graham, and even though I knew they wouldn't stay together, I was so invested, and I cried my eyes out at their ending. It's so heartbreaking, and you kind of see both POVs, which makes it even sadder.

I think it's just one of these books that leave you staring off into the distance for a while. Just seeing the lives they lead, and knowing that this is how rockstars' lives were actually like feels so special and sad and exciting, and I don't even know where I'm going with this but yeah. 10/10.

Thanks again for the recommendation, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this book! I'll try to finish Funny Story asap (I'm almost done, for real this time). <3

People really love misinterpreting a LOT of the complex characters and relationships in Daisy Jones & The Six. It’s a lot more complex and tangled than regular and digestible “shipping culture” that’s what makes it great storytelling and what makes it unique. These characters are so real, almost touchable that’s why we are so connected and invested in them because of how tangible they are. I really hope the show communicates that and interprets it well. I hope that nothing physical happens between Daisy and Billy for drama’s sake because it would completely demolish everything TJR has built; their intimacy was beyond physical and I hope they don’t resort to that it would ruin it.

watching the daisy jones and the six show is not enough.

i need the cast to pretend they're the actual band and go on tour as publicity for the show.

i need to scream my lungs out to regret me.

“we were great.

we were really great”

- daisy jones and the six

[multi-rants]

Daisy: Just be yourself.

Graham: 'Be myself'? Daisy, I have one day to win Karen over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Camila: Couple weeks.

Pete : Six months.

Eddie: Jury’s still out.

Graham: See, Daisy?

Graham: 'Be myself'. What kind of garbage advice is that?
