My Organized Unorganized Thoughts:
It is 12:44 AM and I am crying because sometimes, even when you read the last page first, the sad ending can still shock you. Sometimes, you can feel it deep in your bones, like you're bathing in the sadness.
I started this book with the thought that I would hate the formatting of the book, the interview style storytelling, but it was so interesting to see different perspectives, how two people remember the same moment so differently.
"Artistic rivals to almost lovers" meets "right person, wrong universe" may be my new favorite obscure, hyperspecific trope.
And now, I write messages to the characters:
To Teddy, Thank you for being the father figure that most people don't get in life. The ache that went through me in scenes with you and Billy is one I'm quite familiar with - it hurts to know that men don't have to be terrible.
To Camila, It takes a strong person to love someone as unconditionally as you loved Billy. Love that lasts a lifetime is heartbreaking and you, despite what you may think, handled it perfectly.
To Karen, You were such a relief to read.
To Billy and Daisy (because how could I write to you guys individually?), You're chemistry, you're deep love of each other, the ebb and flow of your two... the acknowledgement of how it would never work, not in this life - that is what made this book. If the multiverse exists, I just know that you two would work out in at least one. And don't feel guilty about that, you made different choices in that life. That's okay.
To the band, to Simone, to Rod, to Artie, to Julia, all the people (characters) that came together to make this book, just know that you broke my heart in the best way.
To TJR, In a way, the ending of this book reminds me of HIMYM. But instead of hating Ted for going back to Robin, in my heart, I hope for a somewhat happy ending for Billy and Daisy.
