"i found patti’s writing about her and robert’s life during the 60s and 70s really comforting, especially as a young person struggling with questions about identity myself!! would definitely recommend for any young adults dealing with the same struggles and/or are at all interested in the NYC artist scene during the 60s/70s"

"This book had such an artistic, hippie vibe, and it was deep and touching, in ways I find hard to explain. A complicated relationship in a complicated time."

"An incredibly poignant and touching recollection of Patti and Robert's journey as artists starting from nothing in New York. The way Patti Smith is able to tell the story of their lives together really reads like fiction as her attention to detail is impressive for a recollection of events happening decades upon decades ago. I just really appreciated this book. It left me with a myriad of feelings ranging from heartbroken to buoyant. Artists will appreciate this"
