the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
#so my secret opinion here now that i've read this is the show was not only a great adaptation#but a superior telling of the story because i actually FELT the love and magnetism between the characters that i think was rather lacking#on the page#not only in regards to daisy and billy but with the entire band and with simone#and i really like the changes they made and the way they fleshed everyone out#it just worked much better for me. the ending landed harder too#because this story isn't one love story it's several all tangled together#and i MUCH prefer daisy's path in the show too...just the whole story coalesced in such a beautiful way#but i'm still glad i read this and i smiled that they put this monologue#and the “whatever made daisy burn made me burn” part in the show#maybe tjr and i just don't click well bc you know how i felt about that other book of hers (djats was better for me overall)#anyway of her writing this is my favorite passage and the most ts-coded#words#love for you is like a religion
