What an absolutely spellbinding and insane ride. Beautifully written, with a little of the Daisy Jones vibes with the interview aspect. 

My hands are literally shaking. I read the last section “The Last Time” in one sitting but had to put the book down and pace multiple times because I was so stressed. What magnificent storytelling - absolutely captivating from beginning to end. It felt like I was reading a memoir of an actual event (not to bring it back to Daisy Jones), and damn I am floored.

The way I thought I knew where this book was going every section and quite literally never did. Just breathtaking.
