Just Kids by Patti Smith
A quick read and fascinating coming of age memoir by Patti Smith, and her touching life-long relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. It captures the essence of NYC in the 70s which was wild, dangerous, and full of iconic creatives on the come-up. Easily one of my favorite books I’ve ever read

“The most beautiful and heartbreaking story of old New York that I've re-read again and again. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy if you haven't had a chance to.”

“Has remained in my top 5 favorite books from the moment I read it (15 years ago).”

“This book was on my mom's nightstand when I was a kid and I thought the cover image was her and dad with my mom wearing a wig. Also extra fun for me because Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe's first apartment was down the street from where I grew up in Brooklyn! 160 Hall Street for 80 bucks a month.Beautiful book as expected from such a thoughtful and brilliant writer.”
