Love is fire.

Daisy Jones & The Six (book) — 1.5/5

The worst part of the show was the interviews, and here is the whole book. Not being able to go visit the scenes and see them play out is a commitment to the novelty of the book, but denies us the feeling of being in the moment and seeing it play out from our eyes rather than everyone else's eyes. To its credit, I can see what someone saw in the book to warrant making it a show—two, maybe three times, the passion that came through in every inch of the show manages to show up on the page. And perhaps better than the show is the positioning of Camila as this background uber-goddess who means everything and is everything except we never see any of it. Here, we see a little more—but still not enough.
